No country has ever achieved it for the rather obvious reason that it's impossible. It's a nice idea, but it's a pipe dream.

No country has ever claimed to achieve it but there are societies both past and present that have created similar societes. Like chiapas in Mexico and Rojava today.

You have to be embarrassingly ignorant of the reality on the ground in Chiapas to imagine for a second that this is true.

Unfortunately for your argument, I happen to know a thing or two about Chiapas, lived and worked there for upwards of a year in the mid 90s, and have no idea WTF you're talking about.

Do tell?

If you're on the Subcommandante Marcos bandwagon, I cordially enjoin you to go fuck yourself.

Marcos was no more than an opportunistic interloper who tried to jump into a much older indegenio fight as a self-aggrandizing and self-appointed power grab.

At no point in time was it ever the case that he was accurately representing the Lacandon as an honest and disinterested party.

Maybe take a couple of deep breaths and calm down before you post on the internet? It's an example of self-governed autonomous and democratic communities. If you disagree with that maybe you can explain why it's wrong instead of throwing a fit. Also, maybe you should read up more on what you're talking about because you didn't even use the correct name nor seem to know the meaning of the word Subcommandante.
