As far as I know, all of them - USSR, Cuba, China, Vietnam, NK etc, implement gun control. Why should their governments do that? The people of these states genuinely support(ed) socialism, if they are/were all armed they can protect socialism far better than the 1% of the population that makes up the military.

    During old order Indonesia, with the increasing pressure applied to Indonesia by the imperialists and the increasing reactionary influence in the armed force, the PKI pushes for the formation of a "fifth arm", the arming of the entire Indonesian working class into a nationwide militia to safeguard the revolution. "Persenjatai buruh dan tani", "Arm the workers and peasants". Before it came into fruition, the CIA coups Soekarno and the military launches a nationwide campaign of slaughter killing millions of leftist, turning the country into the neocon shithole it still is today.
