Do countries exist in a vacuum?

A country never exists in vacuum. So when would this work?

for a start, we can try letting a couple form without a US backed coup?

Exactly countries do not exist in a vacuum. Every single country that has worked for national sovereignty (not even explicitly socialism) has been subject to brutal aggressions from imperialist countries.

Economic blockades, terrorism, invasions, coups, etc...

A pipedream would be to think this is the end of history.

Thats not what im saying. But if you were to change sweden to communism now, say the communism party wins. Would that be successful?
