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.

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.
