To be fair, it's never been tried. At the time the only country that could do it was Germany. Now, most of the Western world would probably work. China couldn't meet the requirements so they hacked the ideas to fit an agrarian system and nearly killed them selves in the process. Perhaps they should try now.
Russia by the 1980s was a industrialized nation, and no, it continued to not work.
They already had the old hacked institutions from the bolshevik. Russia never tried reform. China has a history of changing policy.
I'm not saying this will work. In fact I don't think it will. I'm just saying if anyone want to try it and have the will to do it, it could be China.
Communism wouldn't work in Germany, either, unless by "work" you mean turn the country into Venezuela without the oil.
