Hey, wanna know something “funny”. I went to Vietnam a few years ago. Vietnam is still under communist control. They have an open market and tourism, but there is one political party; the communists. My tour guide said he hated the Communists. So, I’m on a tour and the tour guide points out the nice homes. He says, “that’s where the politicians live.” Everyone else lives in a hovel. But wait, there is more! As we drive around, our tour group notices a lot of unfinished buildings. We ask about this. The tour guide outlines your post above. Corrupt people get a contract. Start building, them pocket the money and abandon the project. Oh, and the ex-pats (Europeans and Americans) basically state if you want anything done, you bribe a politician.

Every USSR country in the world is the same. (USSR is an idea, I know for many it'll be hard to grok, but trust my years of communist polit-philosophy that started in high school, their pipe dream was to turn the whole world into USSR, not just the Russian Empire.)

Oh I'm sure they'll still take advantage of food production outside the their Chop Zone.
