Communism

His plan was to overthrown the feudal regime of the Tsar.

In reality he overthrew the Kerensky government of 1917 which was social democratic.

Like any true tyrant, Vladimir Lenin came to power by force. Via the violence of the Bolshevik Takeover, Lenin was able to install himself into a position of absolute power through purely undemocratic means as the sole, central leader of the entire Russian state, a position he used to impose his will and the totalitarian dogma of Communism onto the populace through mass murder, government theft and state force.

Claims that Lenin was democratically elected, that he did not use his position to inflict his will through lethal force or that he had to face re-election are historical revisionism.

Communism (a classless stateless society) will have to be worldwide, with no nations or borders. What was established in Russia in 1917 was state capitalism.

Das Kapital was written by Karl Marx, and its main idea was that exploitation of labor is the driving force of the capitalist economic system. The Communist Manifesto was written by Marx and Friedrich Engels some years earlier, and critiques capitalism more broadly.

This probably refers to the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, a rather humiliating treaty, to which Lenin had to agree in order to end Russia's involvement in World War I with Germany.

Lenin was 5about 5 foot five, so his shoe size might have been a 9.

President Kennedy, they charge, unnecessarily brought the crisis to the brink of nuclear war in order to appear tough on communism during mid-term elections. They are also quick to point out that the memoirs of those involved in the crisis are all biased accounts that tend to view the President more positively than objectively.

Marx and Engels

Lenin created the Cheka in order to establish one party control and perpetuate the Totalitarian state that he wished to used to carry out his Communist ideologies. The Cheka was an instrument of control, using fear and ambiguity to keep the masses in check and obedient

Poverty and exploitation of the Greta majority of the population (as u Nader all forms of capitalism).

After Lenin seized control, he wanted to eliminate other political party rivals in Russia. He did this by starting a civil war in which he formed and led the Red Army. Then, after that, he formed Communist International to start revolution in the rest of the world (in order to create more communism).

Also, his dictatorship caused the U.S. anxiety. During the Russian Civil war they supported the Whites (which were the non-communist political parties that existed in Russia at the time) because they feared that Lenin would try to spread communism elsewhere outside of Russia. Annnddd, he did.. as we now know.

His dictatorship also caused the Red Scare hysteria in the U.S.

Significant changes weren't fully implemented until 1929 with the end of NEP (New Economic Policy). When Lenin died, Stalin continued this policy while instituting what is called Collectivization. It was a manner with which to collectively bring all aspects of life under the control of the government to ensure stability and efficiency of all aspects of agriculture and industry. Industry was already highly controlled by the Bolshevik government since they always stood for the workers, but they viewed the peasants, profiting off their farms while the workers starved as being unjust. They therefore collectivized the farmland and turned the farms into agricultural factories. All of Soviet society was made to run like a machine (in theory). When considering Lenin and Stalin, changes can be seen in the institution of NEP in the first place as Lenin had begun to decline in health and Stalin capitalized on his weakened state by assuming the prime role of leadership in the party... Stalin's changes to agriculture and industry have nothing to do with Lenin, merely another example of Stalin manipulated the situation to meet his own needs.

developed futurism artistry, they no longer looked at the past as it was a waste of time in their minds. they wanted to move forwards and make their country progress.

The rise of Communism in China is largely due to a man named Mao Zedong. He was poorly educated as a child but highly intelligent. Zedong left home and had become a member of the Nationalist Army as the Revolution began around 1911. He was soon introduced to and became powerfully influenced by the philosophies of Marxism.

Following the Boxer Rebellion1 of 1900, (ridding China of all foreigners, massacring all missionaries and Christian converts), China's citizens experienced starvation, extreme poverty, and grief resulting in the loss of many innocent lives. This set the stage for the acceptance of men like Zedong and the godless Communistic philosophies of Karl Marx. After being under the rule of warlords around 1916, many Chinese began joining revolutionary groups and political parties in hopes of changing their country. During and after the Great Revolution (1914---1918), China saw several movements which strongly fostered a path into Communism.

These times of chaos and despair played a large role in acceptance of Mao. He had the support of roughly 85 percent of the nation who were poor farmers. Zedong started a society for the study of Marxism, and in 1921 its members started the Chinese Communist Party. "Mao Zedong led the communists after the army successfully finished the Revolution by defeating the nationalists. Then once Mao was in control, the Chinese loved him and gave ample support in 'return for better changes for the peasants,'" says writer Christopher van de Merwe.2

The basis of traditional communism is common ownership and production. Karl Marx started communism as a journey into rational eschatology. But through (Lenin's) Soviet communism, this was discarded and only atheism and tyranny were left. Marx believed that a man's worth reflected his efforts and that the state of equality was one's "final stage in life." This philosophy shows Communism to be not only anti-Christian, but anti any divine deity.

Lenin's supporters were known as Bolsheviks, one faction of the Russian Social Democratic (Marxist) Party.

It was established on november 7,1930.

THINK AND GROW RICH. It's really the sequel to the secret that is where the real meat is. I went to the premiere of The Opus in Edmonton. It was a great movie. The place was packed. It was crazy. But the energy was good. The film is so much more than a sequel to the secret. The secret was great. But it left a lot missing. This film actually gave me steps I could do and things to think about TODAY. it was not a new agey conversation about energy. It was powerful realistic invitation to action. And not just action - the right kind of actions to take. I highly recommend it as the best personal development movie ever made. The other thing I liked about it was that those teachers from the secret that made it into this movie actually got share some depth. I almost got the feeling that what they said in the secret was only part of their stories. This film is so much better. I didn't get to the speaking part of the event. it happened earlier in the day - but after having seen the film and talking with a few people I wish I would have. It sounded really good too. So if the Opus is comign to your town. I would encourage you to make sure you go. You won't be disappointed and you will walk away 1000 times more powerful than when you walked in. As a side note I met Douglas Vermeeren and his wife Holly after the event. They are the kindest people you could imagine. And they are so classy and full of grace to everyone. I know they must have had a long couple of days with all the screenings lately, but they were so kind and interested in everyone that they met. I watched from a distance in awe. The guy is really living the Opus and you can see what a difference it is making for him. If you get the chance to meet him you'll see what I mean. Totally awesome guy.

Communism appears to be receding, so, for at least the short term, capitalism is ascendant.

It was considered a threat with the Russian Revolution and the Chinese civil war during WW2 brought that threat to the forefront. Communism was always a threat to capitalist governments due to it being the exact opposite of what capitalism stands for. Though, recognize what communism is, and not what it was made out to be. Different Opinion Communism was never a threat. The West took it as a threat because several natiosn were taking that government and it was the opposite of Capitalist West's views. In addition, Communism was the government of the Soviet Union, America's 'opponent' during the Cold War (from this era most anti-Communist sentiment comes). Some other people, myself included, take it a little further by saying the US simply didn't want to recognize that it had met a government better than its own. Few people can actually tell you what Communism is; all the know is that it carries a negative connotation, which is just ridiculous/

Joseph Stalin followed Lenin as leader of the Sovoey Union.

After Lenin's death, he was followed by a triumvirate of Joseph Stalin, Grigori Zinoviev and Lev Kamenev. Stalin eventually ousted them and took virtual sole power in 1929 but did not become the dictator he is remembered as until about 1932.

The US was worried about other countries becoming powerful. No connection to Communism (a classless stateless society based on production for use).

The Korean War was essentially fought because of the communist ideology. The United States became involved because they did not want communism to spread. Ultimately, the communists took the northern half of Korea while the anti-communists took the south.

China's embrace of Communism forced a complete realignment of foreign policy. While China had been under Nationalist control, it was a strong ally of the West. However, with a new Communist government, China had to reorient its foreign policy towards the Soviet Union.
