What makes a culture successful is the willingness of it's people to support it. A successful culture has it's entire population behind it's back. The people will fight until they can fight no more for their culture. Also, a successful culture needs to be able to change. A culture that does not change cannot be successful. It must be able to adapt to the new times, and change depending on the occurring events. You measure cultural success by how many people stay with a culture, even when presented with other options. This relates to how enthusiastic people are about their culture. A culture with people who take pride in it will be much stronger than one who's people could care less about it.
"The (capitalist/communist) countries of the world were wrong to judge the (communist/capitalist) countries of the world based on outsider cultural knowledge. The only sound judgment comes from hard economic, political, or scientific facts." This statement is only partially true. Both sides should come to a conclusion about the other with a combination of the culture, the economy, the politics, and the scientific aspects of each group. Culture is just as important when assessing the other nation. Although it might appear that "hard economic, political, or scientific facts" are the only important aspects of a nation, a nation is only as strong as it's culture.
