That's irrelevant. I'm not asking you to show me an example of a communist state. I'm asking you to show me (i.e present an argument) that communism doesn't punish success and reward laziness. In my view, communism does this. In a capitalist society, a persons idea can reward them with money if they work hard to turn it into a viable product. In communism, private enterprise is illegal, meaning any good ideas a person has effectively belongs to the state. They have no benefits that the rest of the workforce have. Laziness is rewarded because the system can't bear to see anyone destitute, so the lazy get paid for sitting on their ass.
In capitalism, the same thing happens, if not more so, people who work 90 hours a week live in poverty, while the children of the wealthiest in society, never lift a finger, their whole life.

This is a typical argument of communists. It's quite simply an avoidance of the truth...that wherever communism has been attempted, it has failed.
There can never, be something, such as a "communist nation", it can never exist, therefore you will never find an example of one

Ever heard of a place called North Korea?
North Korea has no oil, since it is not even, just allowed to trade for oil, it does NOT have total control over it's economy.

By, your logic............ the most dangerous person in the world is a freely-elected public official
