Communism

Stalin and Trotsky were among the top leaders of the Bolshevik Party after the Revolution and Civil War. They disliked one another intensely and had conflicting opinions on how to run the country after the revolution. Trotsky favored spreading communism to all countries as Marx and Lenin had envisioned. Stalin felt that they should establish communism firmly in one country first then move from there. Stalin also disliked Trotsky because he was Jewish and had only recently joined the Bolshevik Party.

After Lenin died in 1924, the two vied for control of the Communist Party and the country with Stalin winning and expelling Trotsky first from the Communist Party then from the country. In 1940, Trotsky was living in Mexico in exile and Stalin had an undercover agent assassinate him.

His closest known associate was Leon Trotsky.

The Bolsheviks planned to abolish private property and establish what was social equality, in their view.

Russia was not divided into separate republics when the Soviet Union was first formed. The Soviet Union was formed when Russia, the Ukraine, Belarus and the Transcaucasian Federation (Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan) banded together to form the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union then added more and more republics. In 1991, the Soviet Union dissolved into 15 separate republics.

The Russian nobility was a group thatarose in the 14th century and essentially governedRussia until the October Revolution of 1917. As in other countries, nobility was a status, a social category, but not a title.

Communism is where the government has control of businesses, lands, the economy, and land. Capitalism is where the government does not have control of all of what communism has control of.

Racial discrimination and poverty were issues that encouraged Communist Party membership.

This was the final operational swing of the Russian Revolution. they had already induced the Czar to abdicate and had taken the Imperial family into custody, the Czarist govt. was finished. now on to the Red Revolution. They were opposed by various splits in their own ranks including the Cossacks.

The Red and White Cossacks fought among themselves, this (Theater) of the war being c alled by the Soviets the Civil War between opposing factors of (Reds) and (Whites) after the Czarist fall.l The Red/clashes laste duntil l922 the year of Diaspora. Somebody left Europe for the Us aboard a Tramp steamer in that year! In l922, SHE left the old World for the New!-The Girl Czarine of Russia-You know who!

Vladimir Illych Ulyanov changed his name to Vladimir Lenin because he was a wanted man. The secret police were try to capture him so they could arrest him, and he hoped changing his name would help him escape.

The Bolshevik Revolution is usually called the October Revolution or the Communist Revolution.

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.

democracy combined with properity

Yes, Russia was the first to adopt Communism. The Soviet Union did not exist yet. Karl Marx invented the idea of communism in Germany though.

It is good in some countries and bad in others

Fascism was a political theory developed in Italy and Germany after WW1. Many Italians and Germans were not happy that they had lost so much land in the war and wanted to claim it back. Fascists (see ADOLF HITLER) believed that MIGHT WAS RIGHT! and believed in having a single dictator to lead them, and did away with opposition brutally. (Again, ADOLF HITLER) They hated communists and dislkied foreigners, wanting to hold onto their own country's glory.

Communists (See KARL MARX and WORKERS OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE!) believed that a person should be paid according to their status and job as well as how much land they had and etc. They were often much more at peace that fascits, and it was the former that caused most grief.

Germany sent Lenin back to Russia hoping that he would foment further revolutionary activity in Russia so that Russia would withdraw from fighting Germany in World War I. The February Revolution of 1917 had already taken place while Lenin was in Switzerland. Despite this revolution overthrowing the Tsar, the Provisional Government acting in place of the Tsar was still committed to fighting Germany in the war. The Germans knew that most Russians wanted to end their involvement in the war, so the German High Command sent Lenin back to Russia hoping he would destabilize the government and disrupt the army and perhaps even lead another rebellion. Germany even funded Lenin and his Bolshevik Party to some degree. Lenin led the October Bolshevik Revolution, ousted the pro-war Provisional Government and entered into the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with the Central Powers ending Russia's involvement in the war. Germany got what it wanted: an end to the war on the Russian front and the ability to move many divisions of soldiers to fight the French, British and Americans on the western front.

The government outlawed the Communist Party in the US and serious efforts were made by Congressional committees to ferret out possible Communist conspirators in government and labor unions. (This effort went overboard at times and was called fairly accurately a "witch hunt". ) I presume the FBI and other anti-spy agencies worked hard to find real foreign agents. Newspaper editors and politicians worked hard to make the public aware of the "Red Menace".

The word "fear" may have been used for "hype purposes" but in actuality it was "a purpose for being" what we were during the cold war. And our purpose was to court neutral countries to our side if it appeared that they were swaying to "their side."

yes he did, I believe he was assassinated in Coyoacan, Mexico on 21 Augest 1940, He was killed by an ice axe in his home by one of Stalin's assasin's, Several attacks took place in his home prior to the assasination by Stalin's Assasin's aswell
