China has a communist government but that is only to control the government. Because in reality China uses the Capitilism as their economic system. This is illustrated by their rising in the industrial world.

Vietnam is also becoming less of Communist country and has a Capitalistic economic system. This is illustrated by the improvement of relations with the US since the US is the number one importer of goods. Communism is used to keep the people under the thumb of the government.

Cuba will likely turn more pro-capitalism and pro-USA after the death of Fidel Castro and also because of the failure of many of its economic ventures. It also depends on the embargo the US has placed on it. If we lift it after Castro, a pro-USA government will emerge.

North Korea is in financial troubles and its economy is in a severe recession. The government uses all its money on the military as their people starve. Communism in North Korea is dependent on the support of China, which of late has grown weary of the war mongering neighbors. At some point I think North and South Korea will unite, under US influence and become a republic.

Each case is distinct.--so here's my estimates''

>China. Despite rhetoric, China is no longer communist, exceptin name. They are acapitalist and largely open-market economy. They are stilll a dictatorship. but if Chinese history is any guide--that will change in the forseable future (say 5-25 years.
>North Korea. Unstable and will remain so until the government eventually falls. The tricky part of this is that they are situated strategically to do a great deal of damage in the process. Nobody wants to get a few hundred thousand South Koreans killed--so this is being handled with a lot of care. But when the Kim Il regime is replaced at some point, odds are good they'll begin to re-connect to the rest of the world (IF we don't have some idiot like Bush getting in the way).

>Vietnam--they will go their own way and mind their own business. IF we and other nations egnage them in trade and offer opportunities--they will follow China's lead (on a much smaller scale, of course)--and tha twill be the end of communism there.

>Cuba. How long Cuba remains communist is mostly dependant on US foreign policy. As long as the idiotic "empargo" stays in place, it will continue to legitimate the regime there (including after Fidel kicks off). Open up trade, and the resulting market economy will discredit the "Revolutionary" ideology in a few years. Bear in mind that Cuba is unique among the remaining communist nations: they have tremendous natural resources, are ideal for toursm, the populace, though poor is relatively well-educated--and they are located 90 miles away from the biggest market on earth. The only thing stopping them from being prosperous--and getting rid of communism--is US foreign policy.

The governments of North Korea and possibly Cuba could easily change... and altogether stop being communist when their leaders die.

China... probbaly not in our lifetime. Theis economy is too strong... so don't fix what ain't broken will be the motto for some time. Their economy has evolved and allows a fair amount of free enterprise and has shown a flexibility... they are combining the strong state with a semblence of a free market. So far it has been working brilliantly for them.

Cuba and Korea have the opposite effect.

I think Cuba will remain the same until Castro dies. When that happens, anything could happen: we could acquire them, a new leader could take power and change policy, or a new leader could maintain the status quo. China may be communist, but its communist nature is dying. They have had to become more capitalist / democratic as time goes by, and I imagine over time that trend will continue. North Korea and North Vietnam are not doing well, eventually those countries are going to have to open up to change or outright perish.

i've got theory-approximately this lots. i think of we will have a civil war right here interior the US earlier we actually enable that ensue, there is sufficient people getting extreme and organizing with regard to the government having too lots ability already. something's going to ought to provide, yet i can't decide what's fairly going to ensue. Communism and Anarchy, nonetheless polar opposites do no longer artwork for the authentic same motives, and a suited version of the two one would be indistinguishable from the different. there is going to be chaos, in all probability a war. What happens after this is for the survivors to artwork out.

Well, China is doing pretty well for itself seeing how we are borrowing all the money for the war from them...
