Communism

Lenin's impact on both western and eastern culture and society is difficult to measure, as it has been so widespread. His leadership of the first Communist revolution (in Russia in 1917) established the Soviet Union as a world power. The establishment of the Soviet Union eventually led to the establishment of Communist (and related Socialist) governments around the world, while also transforming language and ideas around the world as reflections of the new force at work in global politics.

The political scene in Serbia is very divided, so there is no true 'leader'. The current president of Serbia is Boris Tadic, and the Prime Minister is Mirko Cvetkovic.

There was no-one there to rule so Stalin thought it would be an "Amazing" chance to rule.

No, because Lenin died of natural causes in 1924 after suffering a stroke in 1922. After Lenin died there was uncertainty as to who would lead the country. The four main people involved were Leon Trotsky, Grigory Zinoviev, Nikolai Bukharin and Joseph Stalin. Stalin allied himself with Zinoviev and ousted Trotsky. Then he allied himself with Bukharin and ousted Zinoviev. By this time Bukharin realized he had been duped by Stalin and that he, Bukharin had no power base. Stalin was able to seize control of Central Committee and have full power to rule.

One of the main reasons was fear. Moreover, in the years following the Russian Revolution some leading Bolshevists said that they wanted to spread their revolution world wide. Beyond that, politicians often found it useful to exaggerate the dangers.

The Germans detested the Communists, even the Communists in their own country. Hitler killed off many of them. He attacked the USSR because they had resources he needed and he hated communism.

At the most basic level, communism was seen a threat to the established and growing capitalism in both the United States and the world. Capitalism made America powerful and spread its influence in a neo-imperialist way. Additionally, the establishment of communism in large European powers, such as Russia (USSR) initiated a strategic struggle for the hearts, minds, and territory of the world. The United States was determined to contain communism as a way to not only maintain capitalism but also its strategic hegemony. Causing Americans to fear communism was one way of uniting the country against a common enemy and, thereby, push its agenda.

The Chinese were attracted to the Communists at first because the alternatives were (i) collaborating with the Japanese occupiers, or (ii) siding with the Nationalists who were corrupt and incompetent.

The Communists were dirt poor but offered the promise of a better life, particularly for women and people in the rural areas.

They were fed a piece of bread and got some coffee without any sugar or milk. They were treated terribly, like they were not even human. Some of them didn't even like the food so many died of starvation only after a few days at the concentration camps.

During the 1960s and 1970s, the United States devoted considerable resources to the protection of South Vietnam in an effort to prevent it from falling to Communist forces. Through financial and material support, advisors and military training, then finally American forces of all kinds, the U.S. expended itself on behalf of South Vietnam's independence in what turned out to be an unsuccessful military conflict (not an official war).

It is pretty much the exact opposite of our democratic system and our way of life.

In the 1930s there was what is referred to as the "First Red Scare". The term 'red' was commonly used to describe communism/communists. Later on following World War II and moving to the 1950s, the United States and Russia had increased tensions, and Americans began to fear communism yet again. This decade witnessed what historians refer to as the "Second Red Scare".

Ho Chi Minh, founder of "Communist" Vietnam, originally was not Communist. But to overthrow the French from French Indochina (Now Vietnam); Minh needed military support. First going to the USA, America turned down this offer, since America and France were close allies. Minh, naturally, went to the second world superpower, The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The USSR, helping spread anti-capitalist, made Ho Chi Minh swear allegiance to the USSR and to Communism in support for military support.

So in short, the only reason why Vietnam is Communist today is because Ho Chi Minh needed help freeing Vietnam from the French and the USSR offered its support in exchange for Vietnam becoming a Communist State.

US President Harry S. Truman can be criticized for allowing the USSR to dominate Eastern Europe following WW 2. He dis learn his lesson however, and decided on a containment policy to decrease the threat of an expanding communist threat.

He showed that by his actions in the Korean War. He forced North Korea to retreat back to its original border with South Korea. On the other hand, he failed to use the US monopoly of nuclear weapons to force Stalin into giving Eastern Europe its freedom.

Russia was losing war and the king didn't want to end it. The Germans send spies to get Cussiam in to Russia and it worked. In other words, Russia got knocked out of war.

Theoretically speaking communism is an economic system that includes which of the following characteristics?

Soviets, Red Army, Commies

Communism is an economic potitical system developed by two Germans. The main aim of communism was to eliminate the class struggle- so society would be classless. People would work according to their ablilties and in return would receive enough to survive. The first communist change was in RUSSIA in 1917. After WW2 the USSR encouraged communist parties to seize power, especially in Eastern Europe, including China in 1949. Although the principles of communism were good, it was unlikely for a communist takeover as our standard of living was so high, were politically happy and we were already happy. Australia and other countries were so scared of communism as it was the complete opposite to democracy and they strongly believed that their way was the best and only way.

In 1951 the menzies government passed a law baning the communist party of Australia. The party challenged the law in the high court, which ruled it was consitutionally invalid. Following this defete, the government made a referendum in an attempt to overcome this constitutional obsticle. In 1951 the referendum was not passed as there was not a majority of people in a majority of states voting 'yes'.

Lenin's Revolution is known as the October Revolution of 1917 or the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. There had been another Russian Revolution in 1917 called the February Revolution, but Lenin did not figure in that at all. He rose to power because of the October Revolution.
