Socialism only destroyed cultures and countries, damn murderous ideology I agree. This is the reason why many African and some Asian countries who converted to communism and pseudo-communism ended up being poor just because of that. Take for example Ethiopia, it experienced a huge famine that nearly killed the country back when Derg is ruling it and didn't really recover a bit until 1991. A even worse case in Somalia contributed to Siad Barre's hardlined policy that pretty much covers everything that's wrong with Africa today, that's why a huge war happened when his regime fell but did nothing to prevent the country from being shambled either.

If the communist countries will have their regimes fall, it must do something. I did write a pastebin link (which is adapted into a segment of Alternate Future of World Roleplay) about how the fall of communism in Laos work and that's the best I can think from realistic point of view; its civil liberties is the least free in Southeast Asia and media freedom is barely better than Vietnam for the most part, hell it didn't even host ASEAN People's Forum last year (it went to East Timor instead) even though it plays as the host of ASEAN that year, a first of its kind. As for Vietnam, a possible revolution should be done in a very tough manner if the dissident population wants to challenge against the commie government, but at the same time, some people in the country genuinely dislike it.

North Korea is like a slightly different case, but I hoped the regime will fall like Soviet Union in early 1990s, except indirectly.
