Communism

In theory, yes, there is individual freedom in communism. However, all communist countries have severely restricted individual freedom, so in practice, no.

The largest Asian country to fall to communism was "China" in 1949

China, north Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, Kenya, the Soviet union ( now disolved), Yugoslavia (now disolved into Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo, Croatia, Macedonia, and Montenegro), Jamestowns original government which failed and was replaced with a free trade republicesque government, And many more that do the same basic thing but are called by other names or that i don't know about. Note: Kenya might not be a communist state anymore I am not sure.

President Eisenhower, the "Domino Theory".

Plato had no theory for Communism and the very ideas of Communism would have made no sense for Plato. Communism requires industrialism and concentrated capital to make any sense, which existed in the 1800s (when Karl Marx invented Communism).

If we take Plato's theories on government and apply them in the modern-age (as Neo-Platonists do), we would quickly see that Plato would be opposed to Communism in the sense that Marx espoused it and the way it has developed as a political system in the real world. Plato believed that governments were necessary and that the well-ordered society has people who are self-disciplined and disciplined by the governmental authorities. However, the government officials are required to adhere to the same self-discipline as the citizens or would be subject to removal from the government. This system runs directly counter to Communism's Dictatorship of the Proletariat or the eventual non-governmental system.

Flexible Response was the use of conventional forces and weapons as an alternative to nuclear war.

It was in Switzerland in early 1917 watching the revolutionary nature of the strikes from a distance with the help of other leading Bolsheviks. He went through Germany in a locked train-the Germans didn't want him in their country but at the same time they realised that the Bolsheviks wanted to end the war.

The Marshall Plan provided economic support for recovering European nations for several reasons, including to try to contain the spread of communism. The plan was officially called the European Recovery Program.

The original Communism lasted for thousand of years: this was the first form of human society, with no classes or government or money.

So-called Communist societies since then have been cases of state capitalism.

It was Lenin, not Marx, who talked about useful idiots.

Marxism is the main theoretical foundation of Communism, a movement aimed at abolishing the wages system and establishing a classless society.

That's the problem it don't!

== Well, to start, Communism has never literally existed. They were in a state of Socialism. The Official term for "Chinese communism" is Marxism-Leninism-Maoism. Soviet Russia, however, chose to follow Marxism-Leninism. Mao claimed to have supplemented Marx and Lenin's theories with his own, just as Lenin supplemented Marx'. If you're curious about the subjects, just contact the modern followers of the ideologies. The most prominent Maoist party in the U.S. would be the Revolutionary Communist Party, and the most prominent Marxist-Leninist Parties are the Communist Party USA, and the Workers party. If you'd like to learn more about them, you may want to look both up in the "groups" section of myspace.

It was a period during the Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union where the people in the US were scared of the spread of communism throughout the world. Also referred to as the "Red Scare". People here were "blacklisted" if suspected of being a communist or socialist. Many were incarcerated or deported. The US government spied on its own people, using wire taps and tapping into personal records. People were so scared of communism in the US, they would snitch on people they suspected of being communist.

The communist leader that agreed to a plan of perestroika was known as Mikhail Gorbachev. He was the last leader of the Soviet Union.

No. Turkey has never been a communist country (even though Communist Guerillas in the Greek Civil War of 1947-1949 threatened Turkey). On account of the Marshall Plan, Turkey was stabilized and the Kemalist dominated republic remained capitalist. It joined NATO in 1952.

They were better off under communism.

Russia was the most backward country in Europe economically and socially under the Tsar. Communism (under Lenin) did wonders for LGBT rights and started the process of rapid industrialisation. While human rights were severely restricted under Stalin, the economy boomed under his command, and after his death the Khrushchev Thaw brought many of these rights back.

Regarding Stalin's murders, while unexcusable, one must objectively see them as a necessay prerequisite for fast progress. The capitalist countries industrialised over hundreds of years and killed many millions more in their empires than the Soviet Union. A quick look at British rule in India for instance reveals masses of unecessary bloodshed. As Stalin said, the USSR had to make a 50-100 year idustrial jump in 5 years or it would be crushed/invaded. For that to be possible all oposition had to be crushed. Had their been a concurrent socialist revolution in economically advanced Germany in the late 1910s, allowing for friendly trade between the two countries, perhaps the horrors of Stalinism might have been avoided.

By the 1970s and 80s the Soviet Union was becoming more liberal. Had some clever reforms been made at that time, such as a renewed focus on producing consumer goods to boost the economy and a move away from bureaucratic to worker control of industry, the USSR might still be around today, instead of the gangster ruled Russia where people still 'disappear', women can make a better living taking their clothes off than working hard towards a meaningful professional job, and LGBT rights are non-existant (compare that to Brezhnev's 'fraternal kiss'). Sadly, Stalin's purges and changes to the party structure meant that any fresh talent found it difficult to reach the centres of political and economic power.

Overall, the Soviet Union was not perfect, but taking into account the difficult circumstances and of its creation, and the prolonged witchhunt it was subjected to by the industrialised western nations, it provided a more egalitarian, meritocratic and respectable society than Russia under the Tsar or currently under Putin. Long live its memory. May we get it right next time.

The US invited Turkey and Greece to join Nato alliance, where they remain to this day.

On December 29 and 30 the Treaty of the Soviet Union was approved then signed by representatives of Russia, Ukraine, Belorussia and the Transcaucasus Federation creating the Soviet Union.

No, ULEMA was the leading policy-making body.

Usually a dictator who has forced himself into power. Stalin forced himself into power and attempted to run a communist nation, however he failed miserably.
