Communism

Germany sent him there in the hope of destabilizing the country.

In most political science publications the primary purposes of the former Soviet Union were presented as a major hypothesis. For these writers, within the Soviet Union was a singleminded effort to pursue two related but not identical goals. The one was the continued objective of a small segment of leading communist leaders to maintain control of a widely diverse and large population that comprised the Soviet Union. The secondary purpose was to use this control to expand the political and military influence of the USSR in the world.These scholars maintain that contrary to popular belief the latter was not a planned endeavor but a step by step progression based on historical events.As an example of the latter rational, the victory of an unplanned Second World War, enabled Soviet leaders to expand the power of their nation.

Lenin was elected as Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars in 1917 by the Russian Congress of Soviets. He retained power until late 1922, when he became disabled by several strokes. He remained in power in a technical sense, but not in a practical sense.

Chiang Kai-Shek was he denounced and fought against communists.

'Containing' Communism was a stupid thing the US thought it had to do. The US didn't like Communism, probably because they didn't undesrtand it at all or were afraid it was better than their economic stance, so they said that they had to contain communism by arresting people who supported communism. yeah, freedom of speech and thought...

No, Chad is not a communist country.

1917-1924. very short rule

The major aim of the Bolsheviks were removing ruling monarch from power. With that accomplished, a second aim was to establish a communist government, which they did.

World War 2

Lenin is remembered because of the notion he implanted in people; that the meek can still carry out a revolution. A lot of his political policies were based on social justice for all.

That would be Ivan the Terrible (Ivan IV Tsar of Russia 1547-1584), or Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin (General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union's Central Committee from 1922 until his death in 1953.)

it was a completely closed border

He did not like communism he was a communist hunter.

No, capitalism and communism have very distinct views about the allocation of resources in a society. Capitalism supports private ownership with the profit motive, deriving additional expansion by accumulating more capital from continual investment. Communism supports social ownership of social resources for the benefit of society, not for profit.

The Vietnam War, The Korean War, Maybe part of World War II

South Vietnam. In the Vietnam war when south Vietnam lost the communism took over south Vietnam.Before that north Vietnam & south Vietnam were different colonies.

The cold war was a struggle between Communist Nations and NON-Communist Nations.

Communism didn't last in Russia because Stalin had a warped idea of communism. It failed because it never was true communism, but was always corrupted. I believe it was not communism in the USSR, but more of a deadly mix of Socialism and Totalitarianism.

He studied it, and became a communist on or about 1922. Like anybody that believes in anything...people believe in what ever they want to believe in...it's still happening today...instead of communism, now it's something else. Prior to the automobile, people had horse and buggys...now it's cars...times change.

All of the Southwest Asian wars (middle east), e.g. 1967 six day war; Yom Kipper War 1973, etc. The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan 1979-1989 and all of the US military operations since Vietnam...Operation Urgent Fury (1983), Operation Just Cause (1989), Restore Hope (1992/93), Desert Storm (1991), Iraqi Freedom (2003-), Enduring Freedom (2001-). Basically Korea & Vietnam were major communist wars. Everything after that was either religious, border disputes, drug related, or neighbor disputes.

yah and his huge ballsack weighed him down

To put things simply: The theory of communism is really Marxism. Marxists believe that- Human history is the history of class struggles there are two classes of capitalist society - Bourgeoisie - Proletariat there are four stages of Human history - Feudalism - Capitalism - Dictatorship of the Proletariat - Communism The exploited proletariat will revolt against the bourgeoisie creating a strong centralised government. Eventually this dictatorship will 'wither away,' creating a society without classes. Communism in practice is what happens when the theory of communism is attempted. In the Soviet Union when communism was put into practice Marxist ideas were altered an changed. Some major changes were- Marx wanted party leaders to be responsible for members. Lenin felt obliged to insist on loyalty. The bureaucracy became more powerful, retaining many privileges. Ideas of democracy were abandoned Lenin had changed Marxism into policy in which the state imposed socialism by force. Marx's theory of economic determinism was abandoned. Freedom was suppressed

Vladimir Lenin did by arranging the Treaty of the Soviet Union in December, 1922 among Russia, Ukraine, Belorussia and the Transcaucasus Federation (Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan). Afterwards, the Soviet Union brought other republics into the union.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

Soviet Union collapsed because communistic leaders next generation love Beatles and James Bond - not Lenin and Communism :). When this generation came to power they destroy Communism. :)
