So, of all the countries were marxists rose to power, which one came closest to implementing socialism/communism?

Its an international struggle, not all of them were working together (often they worked against eachother) and they often had their own distinct goals, little to do wit socialism, certainly in the short-term, but nonetheless they were all part of a singular titanic struggle in spite of being rather disunited about it. we should work on that next time. The answer is basically they almost all were.
also whats with that map? What are the orange countries? Why is Burkina Faso not marked? What the fuck are those borders in the middle-east? Why are Uruguay, Bolivia and Argentina coloured but say Paraguay and Chile aren't? This map is strange.

None. A global socioeconomic system can't be established in one country. That doesn't mean they weren't committed to seeing that happen or weren't attempting to get there.

Ok looking over this again I have to assume the colors mean the following:
Dark red: socialist superpowers (i.e. the USSR and China)
Red: socialist states
Orange: states that have or had a strong chance of becoming socialist
That said some of the colors still don't make sense; I don't know what separates Bolivia from Ecuador and Venezuela, and I still have no idea what's going on in the Middle East.

Paris Commune maybe? Lasted like 3 months, was very small, and predated Marxism as an ideology, but it was a dictatorship of the proletariat. The revolutionary organization strategy looked pretty interesting. I found a book written by some revolutionary there, but as far as I could tell an English translation doesn't exist.
Isaiah Anderson
Tbh, maybe the USSR in 1953, or China in 1976, but we all know what happened right after. Also on a sidenote, what year would you guys say N.Korea ceased being socialist? unless you believe it still is ofc
Carson Hill
North Korea is anarcho-totalitarian
Aiden Adams
Woah
also that image reminded me to try DMT at least once
Jaxon Roberts
Fuck, Ascia from Book of the New Sun, and the Commonwealth for that matter, are anarcho-totalitarian. Thanks user.
Ryan Howard
None.
Closest to communism is some tribes in the Amazon jungle, and they are still very reactionary and gay-hating.
Asher Rivera
DDR was probably the best

What's the name? Can you post the .pdf? I'm french so I don't need a translation.

It was Auguste Blanqui's "Instructions pour une prise d'armes," available at blanqui.kingston.ac.uk
According to Wikipedia, he was apparently arrested, then elected president of the Paris Commune, despite not being released until years after it fell. Not sure if that's accurate though.
It was also available of marxists.org, but the final section appeared to be missing. An extremely truncated English translation was also available. I guess I stopped looking there last time, but I managed to find an English translation, for anyone interested, on the same site as the complete French version. blanqui.kingston.ac.uk
Dylan James
If I knew it was Blanqui I would not have ask, but thanks anyway.
William Edwards
Blanqui was hella based.
Jordan Roberts
Pick one.
Kayden Bennett
Why the fuck is Burkina Faso not on that map?
Evan Harris
The orange probably means failed revolution. So the orange France is probably referring to May '68.

The USSR came the closest to a lower phase of communism although they still didn't achieve it. In the 1960s the official Soviet line was that the lower phase would be reached by the 1980s.
Of course, to achieve that would have meant transitioning to labor-credits and cybernetics, which was exactly why Cockshott & Cottrell wrote Towards a New Socialism. It was their hope they could convince the Soviets to pursue new policies that would implement a viable socialist system instead of market reforms.
Chase Cruz
Nope. He was a beautiful soul. It was his benevolence that got to him in the end. Very sad.
