Communism

The countries that are using Communism are Laos, China, Vietnam, and Korea. Communism is based on Marxism, that the government controls all production and Communism itself means "Everyone owns every thing another person has". this would lead to dictatorship. even though, the countries that use communism would end up with a good economy since everyone is willing to work for the gowernment

In today's China, the old form of socialism, meaning total ownership of the means of production, has slowly been eroded. The Chinese Communist Party still controls the politics and economy of China, however, parts of China's economy have been changed to a more mixed economy. I emphasize "parts". One example of a non socialist China is the stock exchange in Shanghai.

The Truman also known as "containment"

In 1895, Lenin and several other Marxist followers formed the Union of Struggle for the Emancipation of the Working Class. The Union was seen as akin to a trade union which was illegal under the Tsarist regime. Lenin and some others were quickly arrested. He spent a year in prison then was exiled to Siberia for three years from 1897 to 1900.

some of the challenges that russia faced as they made their transition from communism to democracy was that the fall of communism swept away the securties of communism. Crime levels rose and minority groups persuing separatism have been brutally suppressed.

Control of Russia passed to Joseph Stalin, Lev Kamenev and Gregory Zinoviev acting together. Gradually, Stalin ousted the others and took complete control by 1929.

The United States was successful in containing Communism in South Korea.

Lenin believed in the idea of socialism in one country whereas Marx believed in a worldwide revolution. Lenin also believed that revolution would not happen by itself and that it needed a group of revolutionary elite to lead it. Marx believed that all the proletariat would eventually rise and revolt.

Communism was devised by Karl Marx. He believed that there was a great, unjust gap between the rich and poor. His basic philosophy was to even out the distribution of wealth.

Any form of one-party state means a government in which there is no opposition.

i.e. There are no political parties that can challenge the ruling party.

Communism is a form of politics which strives to view all members of society as equal.

the Bolshevik revolution affected WWII in many ways. one of these is that Russia went under a new rule. The Bolsheviks (communists) overthrew the monarchy that was in place.

Communism has no classes or borders or states and will have to exist at a global level, so there can be no such thing as a Communist country. USSR, Cuba etc were state capitalist.

Centralized planning: the state determines what to produce and how much of it to produce

Communal property of land: individuals don't own land.. the State owns all the land.

the soviet union had begun to install nuclear weapons in cuba

IT IS NOT FAIR! it is fair in fairy land where every one is equal but that's not how it works in reality.

It is a political system where citizens are forced to make personal decisions at gun point. The best way to explain this to children is by performing a demonstration. Find the sharpest knife in your kitchen, hold it up to their neck and ask them this question: "Do you want some brocoli?"

Vladimir Lenin wanted a socialist government ruled by the revolutionaries, that would lead to ownership of the country by the working class and peasants. He was a follower of Marxian ideology, and created an ideology that came to be known as Marxist Leninism.

He spent tons of money on military hardware.

Prolly cuz extreme forms of communism were considered a threat to Christianity for republicans and considered a threat to civil rights by democrats. We were already a little bit commie and a little bit fascist, but more toward fascism on the spectrum.

None. It should be noted that the Republican congressman (Allen West from Florida) who made that assertion had no proof and was simply expressing a very inflammatory opinion about people in congress with whom he disagrees. Too many politicians have a sad history of making demonstrably false statements about their opponents in the heat of the moment, including questioning their patriotism or accusing them of being communists. West's claim that there are communists in the Obama administration was in fact a lie, and even some Republican commentators felt he had gone too far.

Pure Communism has never been implemented. Karl Marx wrote of actual Communism, yet it has never been used in it's pure form. What most people are familiar with is Stalinism or Leninism, not exactly Marxist Communism. These altered forms often fail because they are more of a dictatorship than what Marx had originally intended.
