The Soviet state murdered 30 million of its 'own' citizens between its establishment and the onset of the 2nd world war. The 2 world wars between the major European states resulted in the death of 100 million people. Are these the signs of what you call 'successful' states as opposed to failed states? Do you consider the deaths in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq as the result of actions by a 'successful' state, ie the US? The failed states you speak about have only failed because of the wars which destroy them are funded by the major powers who can keep those low level wars going indefinitely at minimal cost to themselves. Most wars come to an end because the combatants simply lack the resources to keep them going, unless they are funded from the outside, in this case the US and its Middle Eastern proxies. Your concept of 'failed state' is the product of the noxious foul diet of neocon propaganda that passes for a liberal American education, and only exists to gain the consent of the US population to indebt them, their children and their great-grandchildren to fund their genocidal activities. Do your self a favor and purge yourself of it.
