if it had worked would it have collapsed after only 70 years?
2 :
Of course it did. Right up until they entered into the war with Afghanistan. Russia were actually doing better than the US in the space race until you faked the lunar landings. Russia were better than you at just about anything apart from corruption and lies. That is where you shone through. The war with Afghanistan drained their resources to breaking point and who's fault was that? Don't think they haven't forgotten your Arming and training of the mujahideen.
3 :
Absolutely not. There were to many shortages in materials. You need to read the book How We Survived Communism and Even Laughed. It is a great book that tells and insider's story of communism.
4 :
Since it collapsed under it's own weight, (for many, many reasons, mostly economical, not from afghanistan) I would most certainly say it did not.
5 :
It would never have worked, communism erodes the economic foundation of a country. That's another reason to steer clear of Democrats, they have the same philosophy.

Do you take vote to find a correct course when you are in a ship that has lost its path in sea, or you will try to read map or compass etc? It's like this. If one desires to have a genuine answer one has to study Marxism and Russian history. When a socio-economic system falls apart there are certain specific reasons for the downfall. The logic of 70 years is a lazy logic which does not intend to go to the root of the problem. Feudal society reigned for hundreds of years and then it died down. If one studies Marxism honestly forgetting all kinds of bias, one will certainly understand that downfall of socialism in USSR was due to deviation from true Marxism. After the death of Stalin, Khruschov and his followers undertook the job of restoration of capitalism. They actually implemented certain economic "reforms" which paved the way for destruction of socialism in USSR. Those reforms were all against the Marxian concept of Socialism. These reforms brought back private property over means of production first in agriculture then in industry. They introduced profit motive for production. They further expanded the role of free market. Through the course of years, in such situation, the new capitalist class, an elite class, emerged banking on beaurocracy in state administration. On the other hand the economy started to suffer and the load was put upon the people who sufferred and a great many thought that the fault lied with Marxism as understood by Lenin and Stalin.
