Communism

not well

Communism as practiced in the 20th Century in the Soviet Union, Cuba, China, Vietnam, North Korea, and Laos, among other places, originated from the ideologies of 19th century German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. A variety of forms of communal social organization were championed by many 18th and early 19th century individuals and groups. Several experimental communities were established in the United States and elsewhere during that time. These experiments all eventually failed, although some lasted for many years.

The BASIC difference is "Group" verses "Individual" styles of living. In a communist environment the government knows YOUR business, for the safety of the "Group"; in a free country/capitalistic country; the government must respect the privacy of it's citizens to allow them to retain their "individuality." Some extreme examples: 1. If a person drowns in a communist nation, for the safety of the people; the beach is closed down. In a free country the beach remains open (with the exception of out of the ordinary cases), the individual who drowned took his own chances; he made a choice. Freedom of choice. 2. If a skydiver dies from an accident in a communist nation, the government stops all skydiving for the safety of the people. In a Free country individuals continue to skydive; they have made their own decisions whether or not to continue the sport. ALL Activities can continue from there; Car Racing, Scuba Diving, Surfing, Airplane Racing (Reno Air Races), Bull Fighting, etc.

No. Although it was generally aligned with the Soviet Union, it is better to see Syria as a Presidential Dictatorship than anything else.

It started in Russia which turned into the Soviet Union and at its largest point included the following countries:

Poland, Mongolia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Latvia, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Uzebekistan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Lithuania, Moldova, Turkmenistan

Then there was the eastern block countries and Baltic nations including:

Bulgaria, Czech Republic, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia

And other countries such as Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Cuba and North Korea.

There were many countries which were not communist, but had communist leanings such as Angola, Mozambique, Yemen, Chile etc.

Greece and turkey

Not now, but it was in the past.

It was an american politician named macarthur who thought communism was the root of all evil, and therefor did everything to look as bad as possible. This led to Americas eternal fear of communism.

What they don't know is that if communism were to be correctly performed the world would be a BETTER PLACE!

Taipei is a city, not a country. It is the capital of the country known as Taiwan or the Republic of China. This is different to the People's Republic of China, that most people think of as being China. It claims Taiwan, but Taiwan is independent. It is a constitutional republic and people can vote, so it is democratic. It is not communist.

Communism:

-everyone makes same amount of money

-government regulations are everywhere

-must abide by government rules

-no freedom

conservatism:

-Ability to pursue the "American Dream" (if u have heard that)

-Deregulate

-Decrease the size of government

-many freedoms

I REALLY TRIED TO MAKE THIS ANSWER AS UNBIASED AS I COULD... ITS HARD!!!

Communism has always been practiced in the form of a totalitarian government which controls all aspects of a society, owns everything, employs everybody, and claims to use this power to create a just society which is fair to everyone, although in practice the result has been great injustice and unfairness, which is why most communist societies have now been overthrown. Anarchy means a society which has no government, in which everybody does what they choose. Communism and anarchy would seem to be virtually opposite types of societies. However, in a purely theoretical sense, one of the original communist theorists, Engels, did predict that a successful communist society would eventually have no need of a government, leading to what he described as the "withering away of the state" so that in its mature form, communism becomes a form of anarchism. That is merely a theory and has never been observed to happen in the real world.

There are several founders of the Chinese Communist party. They include Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Chen Duxiu, and Li Dazhao.

Because why would a peasant willingly give up his/her grain?

Here it is in a nutshell:

Look up agricultural collectivization and kulaks while you're at it. Stalin wanted to industrialize so one of the reasons he enslaved the peasants/land was to pay for industrialization. The money raised from the seized grain of the state farms paid for industrialization by being sold on the international market. Industrializing the country stalin claimed would benefit the soviet union.

Forms of communism include Marxism, Marxist-Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism, and Trotskyism. Stalinism is still practiced in North Korea, Vietnam practices a form of Marxist-Leninism, and the Shining Path guerrillas of Peru still practice Maoism.

It is a capitalist country.

permanent revolution is the state or condition, envisaged by Leon Trotsky, of a country's continuing revolutionary progress being dependent on a continuing process of revolution in other countries. Mao wanted a permanent revolution because In Mao's eyes, only permanent revolution, an atmosphere of constant revolutionary fervor, could enable the Chinese to overcome the past and achieve the final stage of communism

In a communist country, the government owns all things like businesses and farms. They provides its peoples healthcare, education and welfare.

Since 1959 Cuba has been a dictatorship.

There was only one communist country during World War II. This was the Soviet Union which included territories of Afghanistan, Albania, Angola, Benin, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Congo, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Ethiopia, Hungary, Mongolia, Mozambique, Poland, Romania, Somalia, South Yemen, and Yugoslavia. Today there are five communist countries which includes China, Laos, Cuba, North Korea, and Vietnam.

The person who invented communism is Karl marx.

In fact, the ideas of socialism and egalitarianism existed long before Marx.

Some examples are François-Noël Babeuf in France (during the French Revolution) and Robert Owen in England.

Truman responded to the Rise of Communism in Greece and Turkey with the MARSHALL PLAN where he funded the capitalist governments to the extent necessary for them to put down the Communist insurgencies and to rebuild in the aftermath of World War II.

Communism is a very debatable topic. Usually in Russia, most people favor the communist cause either because they honestly like it, or they "have" to like it do to the some-what rutheless government leaders. I would suggest reforming the question.

The fall of communism in 1990 resulted in independence for the 16 nations which formerly made up the USSR, as well as for many other nations in eastern Europe which were formerly satellite states of the USSR. It also resulted in the breakup of Yugoslavia into 6 separate nations (which was violent in nature) and the breakup of Czechoslovakia into 2 nations (which happened peacefully). And it ended the Cold War.

Communism is a form of economic organisation where, according to Marx, the means of production are socially controlled and people, therefore, have social relations without the distinction of class. Communism hypothetically affects society by creating such classless relations, which alter the nature of institutions and motivations to behaviour.
