Communism

Harry Truman did not trust Ho Chi Minh, after he had successfully taken the country back from the French. Ho Chi Minh appealed to the freedom loving nations for support. Truman, knowing that Ho Chi Minh was backed by the Soviet Union, threw all his support behind France. He began funneling money, ammunition, ships, aircraft, military vehicles, and other supplies to France so they could regain their Vietnamese colony.

Lenin did not have to gain control of the Communist Party. He founded it. In 1903 he started the Bolshevik faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (RSDLP) when he and his supporters disagreed with a vote by the (RSDLP. The Bolsheviks remained a separate faction and then formed their own separate party, the Bolshevik Party. After the Bolsheviks took over the government in 1917, they changed their name to the Communist Party with Lenin still as its leader.

They felt that capitalist nations were trying to dominate the economy

They did not accept the aims of the World Bank and IMF

He was adverse to Stalin taking over, so he probably wanted Trotsky to come to power.

Vladimir Lenin was born in Simbirsk, Volga

When the communists first came to power in the Russia the state was in a pitiful state, i.e. hardly industrialized, little roads education and healthcare etc. A major problem was how to industrialize and industrialize quickly.

Another was food shortages, collectivization in the soviet union led to a huge reduction in food production and the country went through many famines as a result.

Technology was also an issue although the Soviet Union was a super power after the second world war they struggled with production and creating some items most famously jeans.

Along with this the threat of capitalism and simply trying to keep up with the US in terms of economic development and technological advances e.g. the space race.

As the Soviet Union expanded a serious issue was trying to incorporate many different nations with different languages and cultures into one country. Many countries had uprising and revolts due to nationalism.

Finally the last major issue was with their economy. Oil provided a huge amount of money into the soviet economy. With a number of devastating drops in oil prices led to in-balances/shortfalls in the countries finances and this caused vast debts. look at the theory of resource curse, as with the Soviet union having so much oil, it led to an increase in corruption and red tape.

Vladimir Lenin formed the Bolsheviks at the 1903 Congress of the Russian Social Democratic Workers Party in Brussels Belgium. At first it was just a faction within that party but later it split off entirely and became its own separate party.

His maternal grandfather, Aleksandr Dmitrievich Blank, was Jewish. However, Lenin did not consider himself ethnically Jewish and was a stated Atheist.

In 1970, Russia was part of the Soviet Union.

Leonid Brezhnev was the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1964 to 1982.

Gennady Voronov was the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic from 1962 to 1971.

Although each communist country would have its own flag (with a logo on it), the communist logo in general (meaning most identifiable to most people) was the Red Star.

Some "Red Stars" might have an object next to it some Red Stars might have had something circling it, some Red Stars might have had different colored backgrounds, but the focus would be on that "Red Star."

To give you an example on how influential that "Red" star was, during aerial combat over the skies of North Vietnam, US jet pilots who were shooting at North Vietnamese Air Force MiG jets would "search", be on the "lookout", and "concentrate" their gunsights on "that Red Star" as their aircraft closed in on the kill. When downing that enemy jet, the US pilot's afteraction report might be read, "I saw that Red Star and blasted away" (US doctrine dictated that positive VISUAL identification was made on a jet before opening fire, as the sky was full of US aircraft during the war). The point of this is example is this: The North Vietnamese Air Force stars painted on their MiG17s, 19s, and 21s were YELLOW!

But US pilots were trained to see Red.

The people do, or everybody does (same thing).

The wall was a concrete manifestation of what Winston Churchill called the Iron Curtain, that fell across Europe after World War II, when the alliance between the Soviet Union and Britain and the US fell apart.

According to The Nine Commentaries the Party has killed about 80 million Chinese people since it came to power about 80 years ago. It is more then all of the World War's causalities put all together. I am not sure if you remember (Don't know how old you are) but the Mao wanted the opinion of scholars and scientists view of how to make the party stronger. In the end he deemed them "counter revolutionary" and had all 20,000 of them killed. Also not to mention how many died of the tiananmen square massacre and famines, people in every kind of religion in China, monks, Falun gong, ect. Point being the CCP is No good.

Lenin Rajendran was born in 1952, in Trivandrum, Kerala, India.

I served in the military during the cold war, I saw many red alerts. There are still enough nuclear weapons left to destroy our planet six times over. It was the military that was the Vanguard that protected the people of this nation why they slept and got fat sitting around playing video games. If you feel fear you look to the military to protect you. Don't let them down now.

I just learned this. Communists wanted to spread communism. And russias army was scary. USA was like screw that, we're not going to bow to anybody. NUKES. But russia responds quickly, and because they have a single party communist government at the time which pretty much means no elections, they have exellent spys. So Russia discovers the nuke tech. from the USA then the cold war is on. Not helped by the cultural revolution in China; USA backed the side that lost. Basically the communists won.

No Lenin was a murderous despot. he built the foundations to a regime that was responsible for the false imprisonment and murder of literally millions of people but still has an effect on the world from an ecological point of view.

The communist government attempted to abolish the classes by distributing the wealth equally or by holding it common, so there is no class divisions. This way the poor and the rich were equal. If you were a doctor or a janitor you would get the same paycheck ;) .

The only side effect to this is it would aloud the government to have large control over how the people could make their money, how much they could make, and what they could do with that money, which in turn made the government powerful and certain leaders got a little power crazed.

Chairman Mao was a dictator , so there was no freedom of speech, action , or movement, and kept them where the country needed them. Deng Xiaping, had other ideas, he saw that China had fallen way back to the west so he improved industry and education , he also brought the one child rule to control the population.

The Communist Manifesto' was written in 1848 by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. It claims that class struggle is the driving force in human history.

Used too; probably not in that line of work anymore.

Lenin's greatest achievement was staging the October Revolution in 1917. By doing that he was able to overtrow the existing Provisional Government and impose a new socialist one on the country.

lenin believed in a small, all-powerful government.

The Bolshevik party, led by Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, established Russia as a socialist state in 1917 after the revolution of that year. Communism derived from the socialist aspect of the party's policies and actions.

Cold War means no fighting. No shooting. No one dies. Hot Wars are a series of battles. Seldom is one battle a war. The Vietnam War was the second "Hot" battle of the cold war. Korea was the first.
