The one that had a pretty bad revolution to get rid of communism 😉. The problem with communism is that, since they achieve power through illegal means, they also refuse to leave when the people, who they are supposed to represent, don't want them anymore.
To be fair, I think most governments would refuse to leave if the people they represent don't want them anymore.
