Communism

Socialism has some major weaknesses. A particular group allocates resources but these resources frequently do not benefit the people. New York state has the highest gasoline taxes in the nation and some of the worst roads. The money originally meant for roads has been diverted. In Europe, the governments control communications. The governments refuse to invest in high speed Internet. Other priorities keep claiming their money. The governments claim they want to develop the equivalent of Silicon Valley but when push comes to shove, the willingness to take the first step is not there. In China, money from the central government is sent through the regional government and never gets to its intended target at the municipal level. Too much opportunity for fraud exists.

Basically, socialism fails for several reasons: it diverts money from capital improvements. It starts paying bureaucrats more and more money than equivalent workers get in the private sector. Fraud increases. Incompetent people are placed into high office. And, the general population suffers more and more.


Such governments have been thrown out of office by elections or a coup.

Communism was and still is just as big a threat to freedom and democracy as fascism/Nazism, particularly when you have dictators such as Mao or Stalin. Mao was not in power in the 1930's but Stalin was. It was during this time that he committed numerous heteroclites initiated by purging his government of Lenin supporters though mass executions. Stalin's predecessor Leon Trotsky, Stalin

In 1990

Perhaps indirectly, in the sense that the existence of Communism caused the existence of anti-Communism. One of the pillars of Nazi ideology was fervent anti-Communism. Hitler made no secret of his anti-communist beliefs, writing of them in is book, "Mein Kampf". The Nazis believed that the Soviets were the real menace to the world, and their whole war was aimed at destroying the Soviets and creating "lebensraum" (living room) for Germans in the east. Many Germans seemed puzzled as to why the US and UK were at war with Germany, thinking they should join forces with the Germans to deal with the Soviets.

The Soviet Union was never Communist, it was an example of state capitalism. Communism is a classless stateless society based on production for use.

Cuba was a threat to the United States during the Cold War with the Soviet Union because Cuba was the closest communist country to our borders and ally to the U.S.S.R. It was feared that the Soviet Union could launch a nuclear missile attack on the U.S. from Cuba, or use the island for a ground invasion of the mainland.

Communists are members of a political and social group with a political and social thought for the welfare of the labor.They are anti capitalists and believe in socio-economic equality where the state looks after the welfare of the people.

Russia was communist for 70 years. It had more than one leader. From 1917 to 1989, they were: Vladimir Lenin, Josef Stalin, Nikita Khruschev, Leonid Brezhnev, Yuriy Andropov, Konstantin Chernenko & Mikhail Gorbachev. The bloodiest was Josef Stalin. He murdered twice as many people as Hitler.

Dictatorship emerges when there is no way to control the people ideology towards the government ,whereas communism is being provoked by the emergence of dictatorship.These are directly related and their outcomes are same.

Communism is were everyone is paid the same wages for the hours they work. The dissadvantages are that people may feel they need a bigger reward for their working hours than others. The countries that currently have communism as there government are:Laos China Cuba North Korea Wietnam.

well they were not successful.

It's the Cold War.

One way that the Truman Doctrine was used to stop the spread of communism is by his policy called containment. This was a way to pour money and supplies into war-torn countries, keep them afloat and stop the spread of communism. Another example is the Marshal Plan that also gave money to European countries in return for support.

Basically the entire Cold War. However during the Cold War there were several hot wars which were proxy wars between the superpowers of the time. The US involvement in the Asia (Korea and Vietnam) can be considered wars were the US attempted to stop the spread of Communism. Likewise the US involvement with the Contras in Nicaragua can be considered an attempt to stop the spread of communism.

Some might be worried that communism is making a comeback. Some countries might also take precautions to try and keep it from spreading to other countries. Duhh

A communist government is one that is ruled by a single party with an allegiance to Leninism or Marxism. Communist states often use centrally planned economic systems, like Socialism. A Communist Government often will follow the doctrine of democratic centralism.

Simply, he started killing people.

He instituted Communist systems in places that had absolutely no other way of staying alive. He put political figures in power that would do anything he said. That was just the countries he controlled directly. Nations like North Korea would just do whatever the USSR told them to, in exchange for supplies, or, in this case, weapons.

Harry Truman announced the "Truman Doctrine" plan to aid any country in such a situation.

No

Japan since the Mejii Restoration Period has been a country that has to a large extent followed the Western Democratic Model.

With the exception of WW2, and the lead up to the war, Japan has used a model very similar to British and Commonwealth governments.

There is a communist political party however, though it doesn't hold that much power in the Diet.
