BIBI,

I presume that you are referring not to the various communist parties, which are political organizations, but rather to that quality in a society arising from its excellence (or at least active practice) in arts, letters, manners, scholarly pursuits, sports, etc. The United States is, on occasion, considered to have a Cowboy, or even a Gun culture, and France’s culture is associated, at least in my mind, with fine dining.

As religious practices preceded, were concurrent with, and remain following the downfall of that brand of communism practiced in the eastern portion of Europe in the last century, I think a case could be made that communism proved less attractive than religion to that population.

While it would be unfair to say the same for the variant of communism practiced in the PRC yet, it is true that the current Chinese Communist Party has changed quite a bit from the one which brought the joys of the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution to that population. During that period, Chinese religious practices have not changed nearly as dramatically.

If these communist cultures are not examples, then which others would usefully serve industrialized nations such as yours, mine, or Loulabelle’s?
