Pure Marxism has never been tried anywhere, though China came closest.

And is this communism?

“Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common.…There was not a needy person among them, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold and laid it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need” (Acts 4:32–35 ESV).

In Russia, Big Business has always been a toddler. (So, was this Communism?)

In America, well, in America, there is a marriage between adults.

China seems to be going fascist as the toddler comes of age. (Looks like incest from the cradle, though.)

LOL.

And don't forget the Klingons and the Dark Side of the Force.
