Some strengths of communism included at or near majority employment, rapid development and economic growth for the country, an equitable distribution of wealth and no class system. Disadvantages include a loss of personal freedom and ambition, simple, materialistic approaches to lifeâ??s problems, a sort of machine like mentality.

One of the main weaknesses of communism include dependence on the government. A strength of communism is that everything is reportedly equal - there is no upper class, middle class, and lower class.

Strengths: Standard theory in linguistics provides a systematic framework for analyzing language structures and patterns. It offers a foundation for understanding universal grammar principles that underlie all human languages. Through its rigorous approach, it allows for precise comparisons and predictions across languages. Weaknesses: Standard theory may not fully account for the diversity of linguistic phenomena found in all languages. It has been criticized for its focus on formal rules and structures, sometimes overlooking the functional aspects of language use. The theory's complexity can be challenging for beginners and may not always align with emerging research findings in the field of linguistics.

Socialism is an economic system based on public or cooperative ownership of the means of production, worker's self-management and collective decision-making in enterprises, and production for use. Marxism is an economic and sociological theory on capitalism, economic development and social class that predicts socialism to be an outcome of economic and technological development. Many socialists agreed with Marxist or quasi-Marxist analysis and theories, but not all socialists agree with or are Marxist. In short, Marxism is a theory; Socialism is a system.
Marxist theory of social development is not relevant now. Human beings will never abandon their right to private possession of things, whether they be cultivative land, their husbands and wives, or children. Community possession of products or resources have been experimented with in several ages and they have always failed as is evidenced by the overpowering urge for private possession. Or, the emotional nature of human mind has to go which never will. Marxist theory of social development is derived from three sources, three roots, which are English Economics, French Socialism and German Philosophy. Unless these three characters of Marxism wither away, the emotional nature of human mind will make Marxist development of society irrelevant.
Strengths of psychological theories of crime include explaining individual differences in criminal behavior and offering insights into the role of factors like personality and upbringing. However, weaknesses include oversimplification of complex behavior, overreliance on internal factors, and ignoring broader social or environmental influences on criminality.
