Capitalism

Capitalism really started to develop in Europe in the early-mid 1800's, but the seeds of modern capitalism could be seen as far back as the 14 and 1500's.

KARL MARX had the view that history was inexorably trending to communism and that capitalism would improve to socialism and socialism would improve to communism.

Sure capitalism is based on a set of ideas = ideology. The main IDEAS behind capitalism are the closely connected 'inflation' and 'infinite growth'

Communists are somewhat Lockean in their idea of production at least Marx was. They believe that mixing your labor with something makes it yours in a sense. However capitalists are those that make money off of others' labor. They merely own the means of production and take their living from the surplus value of the labor they hire. This is a very crude answer to your question, but I hope it points you in the right direction as to why communists have moral issues with capitalism.

This is a pointer to a possible answer...not an answer. There was an Englishman in the 1800's who'd written a treatise on the subject and I'm at a loss to specific details as it's been over 40 years since I've read it.

That being said, his description of the stages of capitalism went something like this:

Initially people barter with their personal production. Next craftsmen evolve who create more complex and desirable products which are sold and form the basis for the first businesses. Then partnerships/guilds/cooperatives are created to create more complex products or more geographically dispersed distribution of products. These evolve into corporations specifically to allow an increase in wealth/size to the producers in exchange for shared ownership. The natural direction for corporations, in their mandate to grow and increase wealth is to form oligarchies, with the ultimate goal (if unfettered) of becoming a monopoly.

Stalin was in fact the dictatorial ruler of the state capitalist USSR.

Pure Capitalism consists of three pillars of ideas.

Private ownerships.

A Price System.

Competition.

Pure Capitalism has no or close to no government control, it is controlled by the people, for the people.

Capitalism. Any system in which the means of production are privatley owned and controlled by a few and the fundamental goal is the accumulation of more and more wealth for the sake of further accumulation, is capitalist despite anything else.

marxism

Capitalism is an economic system where goods and services are produced for sale at a profit; the vast majority have to work for wages; a tiny minority own the means of production and exploit those who produce the wealth.

Laissez faire is a French term meaning "allow to do." In economic terms this refers to the absence of government regulation of financial transactions.

what do you mean by sorters

That everybody is free to take their own way in life and free to choose what they want.

When most people hear the word ``fascism,'' they naturally think of its ugly racism and anti-Semitism as practiced by the totalitarian regimes of Mussolini and Hitler. But there was also an economic policy component of fascism, known in Europe during the 1920s and '30s as ``corporatism,'' that was an essential ingredient of economic totalitarianism as practiced by Mussolini and Hitler. So-called corporatism was adopted in Italy and Germany during the l930s and was held up as a ``model'' by quite a few intellectuals and policy makers in the United States and Europe. A version of economic fascism was in fact adopted in the United States in the 1930s and survives to this day. In the United States these policies were not called ``fascism'' but ``planned capitalism.'' The word fascism may no longer be politically acceptable, but its synonym, ``industrial policy,'' is as popular as ever.

Adam Smith is called the father of Economics becasue he was one of the first people during his time to theorize economic theory

Karl Marx believed that capitalism through industrialization had increased the productive capability of the world's economy far beyond that ever witnessed before. Nevertheless, he also felt that capitalism created two competing classes of people. One, was the bourgeoisie who owned and controlled the means of production and hired wage laborers. The other was the proletariat, who were common workers who owned nothing but the right to sell their own labor. Capitalism's very nature would ensure that eventually, these classes would struggle against one another to the point where the class of workers would get large enough and oppressed enough that it would overthrow the bourgeoisie, seize the means of production from it and end the economic system known as capitalism. The system of socialism would be ushered in and gradually evolve into pure communism.

The only dangers are trying to be implemented to early. That has lead to authoritative governments like in the ussr. No country has ever achieved communism. The only safe way to do it is to do it worldwide and first developing sociailist systems and fully develope socialism in governments across the world. In communism itself there arent many dangers

France

In between capitalism and communism, Marx stated there had to be a long period of socialism which would last for generations until all vestiges of capitalist thought and all members of the bourgeoisie were eliminated. During the socialist period, the country would be run by a government Marx called a "dictatorship of the proletariat." By dictatorship he did not mean the type of dictatorship that all "communist" countries have experienced, i. e. totalitarian government. Marx meant a democratically elected government but that members of the bourgeoisie would not be allowed to vote and would not be allowed to participate in running it.

I do not see how capitalism could exist without the concept of private property, but I have heard there are some elements of capitalism in socialist countries which do not allow private property, so perhaps it is not essential.

The Bolshevik Party was based on the ideas of Karl Marx and Frederich Engels. From that viewpoint, the Bolsheviks believed that capitalism was inevitable and was the last step before a workers revolution. The Bolsheviks were impatient however, and although Russia was not a highly industrialized nation with a numerous and strong working class, they believed that a revolution producing a dictatorship of the proletariat was possible.
