Communism came about because poor countries wanted a quick fix for their economy. For instance, China, back in the early 1900's, was not a Communist nation. It became that way after years of poverty. What communists' do is go after the farmers, etc, and tell them that Communism will give them money, power, etc and will eliminate different classes of people (middle class, upper class), and people will be able to share everything, etc. Farmers and poverty-stricken people believe this, and it does work, temporarily. However, the long term effects are not good. You're pretty much working for your government; nothing is yours anymore. But, poorer countries don't think about the long-term effects. China today is still Communist; but they are not strict Communists like some other countries.

Communism became widespread in the 20th century due to social and economic inequalities, exploitation of the working class, and the desire for a more equal distribution of wealth and resources. The ideology appealed to many as a solution to address these issues and bring about societal change. Additionally, global events such as the Russian Revolution and World War II helped spread communism to various regions around the world.

∙ 13y agoThe idea behind Communism (Karl Marx's Manifesto) was that 'the people own a share in everything'. The problem was that people are stupid and automatically feel a need that they should be led. This led to a ruling class who, instead of magnanmously sharing the wealth gained from their power, kept it for themselves.
It is a failing with any governmental system.

Communism is a political and economic ideology advocating for a classless society where the means of production are owned collectively.

Which is the most successful political system in the world?
There is no single "most successful" political system as success can be measured in different ways. Some might argue that democratic systems, such as those found in countries like Norway or Switzerland, are successful in terms of citizen participation and political stability. Others may view authoritarian regimes, like China's, as successful for achieving strong economic growth and stability. Ultimately, success is subjective and depends on the criteria being used to evaluate political systems.

How did communism become so widespread?
Communism has never been widespread. Those areas that had it imposed it upon themselves, and later rejected it because the system became corrupt. Communism has appeal to the disenfranchised and those who suffer under the jackboot of corporatism such as was the case in Vietnam when the French Michelin rubber company essentially drove their employees into that ideology through mistreatment doled out by French plantation bosses. America tried to forestall Vietnam from becoming communist and failed. Visit Vietnam today and see a self-assured and industrious people. All the bombing in the world failed to demoralize them much to the amazement of the western countries. Visit also China to see a sparkling and advanced communist society with dazzling cities illuminated by nuclear power plants and trains that run on magnetic levitation. It is wrong to say that communism is not widespread. When left alone, free of capitalistic harassment, the communist societies seem to prosper.
