Communism

Everybody makes the same amount of money. like a pool cleaner makes the same amount as a CEO for a big company.

China currently calls its regime a People's Republic, which is functionally called Communist (not to be confused with communist) by Western observers.

"To each according to his/her need', control of all property under the guidance of the state, proletarian dictatorship, socialistic totalitarianism, atheistic secularism and the hope of communist internationalism are, of course, apparently true of communism; but, in the name of proletarian dictatorship there, in fact, comes elite-class dictatorship in the policy making of a so-called communist state. As all people are not equal in talent and brilliance, as a labourer is not equal to a scientist, he is never then equal with a scientist in the same communist state. Proletarian dictatorship is also an utopia, for a lobourer can not dictate the ways of a communist state rather its ruling class, the elite class. 'The Class-less society' is fraudulence, is a mere propaganda.

The War in Afghanistan from 2001-Present. (the issues were Islamic Fundamentalism and support of terrorism)

The Cold War was entirely communism vs. free enterprise.

The Korean War was fought by the UN against the extension of Chinese Communism.

The Vietnam War was also a proxy war, with the North supported by the USSR.

Well, communism was a major influence in global politics in the 19th and 20th centure. It has been asociated with unions and healthcare in the united states since the inception of both. One major change was its adoption by Russia and China then its failure in the economic war between the United States.

Millions of people who spent decades trapped behind its "Iron Curtain." The millions who were purged (disappeared) in the great Stalinist purges in the Soviet Union in the 1930's and later. The millions who were murdered in the Chinese Cultural Revolution under chairman Mao, the slaughter of 2 million people in the "killing fields" of Cambodia by the Khmer Rouge, the list goes on and on....

It even had an effect on the good ole US of A. The Korean and Vietnam Wars were both fought over communism. The Cuban Missile Crisis, and other problems...

After World War 2 Germany was dived into half. The western half was under American control and the Eastern half was under Russian control. Berlin lay in the Western half and was divided between Russia and America, meaning that East Berlin was an island of Russian controlled Germany surrounded by areas under American control. Russia was a communist country and people from East Berlin tried to flee to West Berlin and so the Berlin Wall was built to stop this.

Until the east Germans were rescued by pink Floyd!

The man you mean is Stalin. He was the communist leader of the USSR in WW2. Lenin died before World War 2. Stalin was one of the Big 3 allied leaders. He was responsible for the victory of the eastern front in the European Theater. At the end of the war Stalin refused to let the countries he conquered to return to free democratic nations. He kept them and ruled over them with communism. He was the reason the Cold War started.

North Vietnam.

The senator from Wisconsin and a number of other people saw that Communism was dedicated to the overthrow of existing governments, judged by the writings and statements of Communist leaders. The means they chose to use to protect the US from this threat have been debated, and history seems to have judged McCarthy negatively.

the bad things are that it was abused by people like Stalin and Polpot to gain power

you don't get any personal freedoms

you cant raise your standard without being corrupted and active in politics

America was actively fighting Communism as early as 1919 in the Russian Civil War. The fear of communism does not stem from the Soviet Union, it stems from what communism represents. There was no great event that started the fear of communism, made clear by the fact that in 1919 the Bolsheviks were yet to actually do that many great evils.

Lenin favored it, because he instituted it right after the October Revolution. War communism did not impose full socialism or communism on all aspects of Russia's economy. The Bolsheviks were simply too weak in numbers to immediately govern the entire economy of Russia with its millions of peasant farmers. Nor were they able to take full control of all the factories and other industry in the country. When the Russian Civil War broke out, the Bolsheviks were even less able to handle the economic demands of fighting the war. For this reason, war communism was instituted by Lenin in order to enable the Bolsheviks to survive the Civil War in power. War communism was later scrapped in favor of Lenin's New Economic Policy.

Stalin put the Berlin Blockade in place on the 24th of June 1948. The blockades aim from the Soviet point of view was to force all "Westerners" (that is Berliners) out of Eastern Berlin which was the Soviet occupation zone. However, Truman the American president decided to airlift supplies into Eastern Berin and the blockade was lifted by Stalin a year later.

The outcome was widespread German resentment against the Communists and support for the Americans

Because of the Domino Theory, which says if one nation falls to communism, then all of the surrounding nations will become communist.

Communism WAS the cold war. The Communists had nuclear weapons, we had nukes. The cold war was a military stand-off; two gunfighters staring at each other, each waiting for the other one to make a mistake or go for his gun. Finally, in 1989 (1990,1991 however histornians want to write it), the gunfighter named Soviet, turned his back and walked away...that ended the stand-off (cold war).

In 1895, Lenin and a few other socialists formed an organization called the Union of Struggle for the Emancipation of the Working Class. Lenin was arrested and sentenced to one year in prison and three years in exile in Siberia. The Union was seen by the Tsarist regime as advocating for workers' rights much like a trade union would; however trade unions were illegal under the Tsar.
