Communism

Communism is a system of allocating resources the the people and creating a socially equal result. All citizens will be given the same resources at the same amounts. Everything is essentially communally owned, and communally produced. As a result, there is no social stratification - nobody is rich, nobody is poor. We have made it out to be an economic system. However, in order to do this, there must be a very strong central government that can exert its power over all the peoples of the nation in order to carry out the distribution of wealth. Therefore, communism becomes a form of government.

The main ideology that should be shared by all people; irrelevant to their race, color, faith, ...; is to have good morals. All God and non God religions call for the same good morals. Refer to related question below.

As for other ideologies, these are different among people. However, every one is required to respect the ideologies of others. One may be capitalist, socialist, communist, religious, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, ... what so ever.

The cynical answer is, "it collapsed from its own internal contradictions." In fact, the people living under Soviet government realized that the system under which they lived did not keep pace with the lifestyle and material goods offered by the West, and that they did not enjoy the individual freedoms that they imply. The movement began in the satellite states like Poland and Czechoslovakia and spread toward East Germany and Russia.

The Marshall Plan

The birth of Marx's communism was not the result of globalization. Marx saw economic and political injustice in Western Europe. Most particularly in England and Germany. To Marx and his wealthy benefactor, Engels, the cause of what Marx saw as injustices was the direct result of the industrial revolution.

The Rosenberg trial. The Rosenberg's were charged and convicted of giving the Soviet Union secret military information. They were executed for this crime.

American propaganda caused most Americans to believe that it was a horrible system.

Senator McCarthy also had a thing where there were people who would ask Americans "Are you now or have you ever been a communist?" Those who answered yes were in big trouble.

This might not be right but - there was the berlin wall and when they took it down some people went to the democracy side.

After the conflict over his succession ended with Stalin taking over.

They clearly believed in ownership, repayment of debts and that some were wealthier than others and that wealth could be passed from generation to generation. They traded and had individual ownership. They were capitalist.

Lenin was the person who argued most vociferously for the overthrow of the Provisional Government. He slipped back into Russia after fleeing in July when the abortive first coup was attempted. At a meeting of Commissars of the Soviets, Lenin demanded that the Bolshevik Party stage its coup at this time. Grigori Zinoviev and Lev Kamenev were against it and even wrote newspaper editorials against it. Nevertheless, due to Lenin's persuasive arguments, the Bolshevik Party decided to go forward.

Leon Trotsky was more instrumental in the actual operation of the takeover, e.g. planning and coordinating the seizures of various key military and communications installations.

Mutually assured destruction, called for short (and sensibly so): the M.A.D. Principle.

There are multiple definitions of 'liberal' in history, most of which do not match the current American understanding of the term. However, in the modern US usage, liberal generally refers to left-leaning individuals who, while accepting capitalism, support a welfare state and minimum standard of living to individuals. In this sense they are not communist, since being communist requires both direct opposition to capitalism and refusal to reform the system via democratic methods (that is, a communist would not vote for change - they would rebel). Therefore, liberals are not communists.

Equality 7-2521 experiences the joy of his body for the first time when he is not oppressed by work assigned to him by others.

Command communism is when your economic system is based on communism but you are forced to experience communism; I.E. Imagine the political environment of North Korea without the ability to buy or sell because the government allocates a certain amount of goods (usually based off of a mathematical matrix) to the people. If you disagree with the concept of communism under this system, you can be jailed, exhiled, executed, etc. However, under regular communism, people are freer to choose to leave the country and/or believe in capitalism or socialism without having the fear of being jailed or executed for those beliefs.

no. he was anti-communist scab!

the fall of the Berlin Wall

Plato, the early Christians, Thomas More, Karl Marx.

i really don't know, i want this question answered my self, can you answer it?

1. It failed to explain how money gets that way - which Henry Miller later explained in his classic essay, "Money And How It Gets That Way."

2. It did not take into account the fact that the majority of people are greedy, illiterate slack-jawed ridge runners with the moral instincts of rutting bandicoots, and that consequently Communism was bound to fail because there would always be Communist bosses (Commissars) who would skim the cream off everything and treat the workers like yellow dogs - treat them in fact worse than the Czar did.

3. There were no jokes or illustrations in it, and no dirty parts.

You mean not liked by Russian feudalists and capitalists - I guess. Because he wanted to free the Russian people from feudalists and capitalists supression. Of course they did not want this.

But he was liked very much by the majority of the people - especially workers and socialists. Democracy and the socialist ideas were forbidden in feudalist times of course in any European countries. The kings roled - not the people. Meanwhile the capitalists have taken over and are using the model of democracy because due to ownership of the media they control public opinion and what people are voting for.

When media control of people's mind does not longer work and people want socialism as e.g. in German revolution 1917/18 they build up fashism - as done in Germany, Spain, Italy. Search in Google for the full text of the book e.g "wallstreet and the rise of Hitler". This shows that even US capital financed Hitler - his task was to crush down German and Spanish Socialists and finally the UDSSR Socialism.
