Communism

No, Joseph Stalin was. Lenin had died in 1924. World War 2 ended on August 14, 1945 with the surrender of Japan. Stalin had taken full control of the USSR in 1929 and kept it until his death in 1953.

Communist attitudes to religion changed according to political whim and necessity.

Until the 1930's, communist Russia persecuted the Church, but during the war Stalin realised that the Church could be of positive help to the state in mobilising public support for the defence of the country. Even after the war, it was recognised that the Church would continue to be of help in furthering the Soviet political agenda.

In China, many churches were pulled down during the brief period of the Cultural Revolution, and whether or not religion was constitutionally legal was to be no impediment. However, the churches were soon rebuilt and flourish today. Only Falun Gong is regarded as a truly illegal religion, perhaps understandably (if not justifiably) because of the faith's virulent criticism of the government.

Cambodia, under Pol Pot, suppressed all forms of religion because only the state should control the minds of the people. Religion is also banned in North Korea, no doubt for the same reason.

The result of Stalin's attempts to promote communism were pretty devastating. One result was the fear that was instilled in the people.

Domino Theory

The demise of the Communist government in the former USSR was a deadly blow to communism. Even China has developed an economy that is part "capitalistic".

Communism is viewed by most people as a political idea now relegated to the dustbin of history.

No one chose, there was a civil war in which the Nationalists lost and the Communists won. So China has a Communist government.

Communism as a political theory was derived from the 1848 libretto "The Communist Manifesto" written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. There were several attempts in the late 1800s and early 1900s for Communists to come to power, with the first major success being the Bolshevist Revolution in Russia in 1917-1924 led by Vladmir Ilyinch Ulyanov, also known as Lenin. Lenin and his successors in the Soviet Union (the renamed Russia) supported Communist ascendancies elsewhere, especially Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa.

Communism as described by "The Communist Manifesto" has a number of important stages in the creation of a communist society, which has three main stages. The first stage is the revolution, to allocate all resources to the workers and take them away from the capitalists. The second stage is the dictatorship of the proletariat, wherein the Communist Party would be developed in order to promote the development of positive morality and education. The third stage would be the willing dissassembly of the Communist Party and all institutions of government, leaving a mutually dependent and self-enforcing anarchy. Since all Communist countries became paralyzed in the second stage, many Communist-sympathizers and political theorists argue that Communism has never been properly implemented. Their opponents argue, that a proper implementation, as described by the proponents, runs counter to human nature and the nature of institutions, and therefore, it is unrealistic to expect such a Communist anarchy to come into existence.

Yes, Lenin found the key to the safe so he could complete his mission to find a navigator to navigate him to the island of golden birds to fly him to the tomb that his brother fell asleep in, so he could wake him up and ask him for the password to his iPhone which contained his Doodle Jump high score, which encoded the coordinates of his secret laboratory that had his math homework that he had to give to his old 3rd grade teacher in exchange for intel on where Morgan Freeman kept his buried treasure that would allow him to pay the Martinez Drug Cartel back and officially be able to order 2.5 kilos of cocaine to Miley Cyrus in exchange for her promise to give him some friendly advice. Do you what the advice was? Miley said, "Wiki Answers is not a reliable source."

The means of production is owned by the collective ownership of the workers.

It set about destroying all art, individualism and culture (all historical art was burnt int he streets) and then suppressed all new literature that was not Chairman Mao's little red book.

After Lenin had his stroke Russia was led by a troika of three people, Joseph Stalin, Gregory Zinoviev and Lev Kamenev. Stalin did not gain complete control of the country until 1929.

Vladimir Lenin was the first communist leader for Russia. After the successful revolution against the Russian Provisional government in October, 1917, Lenin later discarded the term Bolshevik in favor of Communist. The party soon after changed the name of Russia to the Soviet Union.

communism is controversial because there isn't a variety of things to do with a communist government. the government tells you what job to have and what you get paid. in a communist government there would only be a few choices of cereals and drinks. the point is, communism doesn't allow enough freedom to the people. the government has too much power.

Origins of Containment

The purpose of Communist International was to promote communist revolution around the world.

Yes it did, because according to Karl Marx, the proletariat would be a class of workers with no national affiliation when it rose up against its bourgois oppressors. It was felt that a single communist state could not exist for long in the midst of capitalist nations. For this reason, socialist/communist activity was encouraged by Lenin and Trotsky so that there would eventually be more and more socialist/communist countries.

In order to foment such revolutionary activity in other nations, Lenin created the Communist International. This organization, led from Moscow, funded, organized and coordinated revolutionary activity in other nations.

Two German economists, Karl Marx and Fredrich Engels, who also wrote the book " The Communist Manifesto ", published in 1848.

anyone who opposed government was killed Couldn't own any private property only communists could run the government.

He promised the people land, shelter, and bread. Because most Russian citizens were peasants at the time. This was done by the April Theses where he mentioned " All power to the Soviets" & "peace, Bread and land". He also promised to take Russia out of World War 1. The war had pushed Russia to the limit - and beyond, therefore this made Social, economic conditions inside the country hard. Also the Political system was not well received from the Russian people. They beleived that the Tsarist system just brought catastrophe to the Country.

Depends where you've been brought up, where my Father was it was known as an evil. But my friend from Asia knew it as a "Liberation for the people". Although it does have an international reputation for genocide and civil war.

Mao himself was from a peasant family, and thus he cultivated his reputation among the farmers and peasants and introduced them to Marxism. Peasants made up much of his army during the People's Revolution. During the Great Leap Forward Mao emphasized agricultural growth, and branded many of those not involved in farm or industrial work as decadent.
