Since Marxist-Leninism claims international solidarity and free market capitalists claim international trade as key values, I'm not sure completely isolated states would be a fairer test of their economic models.

We've had plenty of tests of communist states becoming capitalist ones though, for reasons it would be difficult to attribute entirely to capitalist interference

I should clarify that by interference I mean in the sense that neither state faces sanctions or blockades due to their national ideology. Or that one state receives massive amounts of capital and preferred trading status due to their ideology.
