Political Theory

With free economy capitalism people could very well become successful as well as selfish and ungiving. Government involvement would allow for better control over who receives welfare or not.

No. Absolutely not. There are countless stories of Americans who started with nothing, coming from poor backgrounds, pursuing their dreams and making it big. Not too much of that going on in communism. Since the communist model discourages (even bans) private property, how can they possibly claim to allow significantly more individual freedom? Communism discourages individual freedom, and prefers a collective "hive" mentality in which its subjects are kept under strict control and kept from attaining wealth.

Very briefly stated, here are the different beliefs of Conservatives and Liberals. Conservatives ideals are based on the belief in the capability of others and the attendant accountability i.e. personal responsibility. The individual, not the government, is responsible for individual actions. All government should be limited and be representative of the people. They believe in free market economy, individual liberty, traditional values and morals, and a strong national military for defense. The role of the government is to protect the freedom of the people so that individuals can pursue their own goals and desires. The emphasis is on the state to solve its own problems and for the individual to solve his/her own problems. Liberals believe in a strong government that acts to absolve others from accountability based on their belief that Americans generally incapable. Seeing people as incapable they feel compelled to protect promote equal opportunity for all people in the nation. It is the job of the government (state) to help solve social ills and to protect the civil liberties of all. Liberals have a strong belief in individual and human rights. The role of the government should be to protect and guarantee that no person is in need. Thus, liberals would accept governmental policies such as national medical insurance for all. Liberals emphasis the basic goodness of people and the need for government to help solve problems.

political theory evoles as society changes within the context of the structure and systematic choices

It is a systematic and critical thinking about politics. Political theories help to establish what this purpose is and how society should be organised to achieve this.

The founding fathers believed that a strong centralized government was necessary to eliminate each colonized state from having too much political control.

Proper diplomatic and intelligence functions have most likely been abrogated.

Democracy continues in the United States of America because it is basically Majority Rulesand this rule is very fair and just. This is simply why we we still use democracy in the United States of America.

In 'The Communist Manifesto', Marx called upon the workers of all countries to unite. Once united, the workers would overthrow the owners and controllers of the means of production and by this revolt usher in an economic era of socialism, which would later evolve into communism.

To me, the clearest way to understand it is based on the intention of the Founding Fathers. No governmental group or individual should be given too much power. Freedom of the press is a vital check and protection against this. Keep everyone accountable. If they're doing honest and courageous work, a free press is worth dying for.

Direct Democracy

Answer this question…

Extreme nationalism

Both are authoritarian governments, but fascism focuses more on aggressive expansion.

All bills dealing with taxes and appropriations must begin in the United States House of Representatives. Each state has a number of representatives appropriated to them.

Fascism is a totalitarian, nationalist ideology of expansionism, militarism and promoting cults of unity, strength and purity. It opposes socialism, communism, democracy, Laissez Faire, individualism and pacifism.

That everyone was suicidal

In between capitalism and communism, Marx stated there had to be a long period of socialism which would last for generations until all vestiges of capitalist thought and all members of the bourgeoisie were eliminated. During the socialist period, the country would be run by a government Marx called a "dictatorship of the proletariat." By dictatorship he did not mean the type of dictatorship that all "communist" countries have experienced, i. e. totalitarian government. Marx meant a democratically elected government but that members of the bourgeoisie would not be allowed to vote and would not be allowed to participate in running it.

The word Marxism-Leninism is used roughly as a synonym for Communism. (Marx was a philosopher who wrote about his ideas for a Communist state, and Lenin was an early leader of the Soviet Union, which was the name Russia took during its Communist period.)

China is still a Communits country, although it has evolved somewhat away from Marx's plan. Vietnam, North Korea, and Cuba have Communist systems. Various other countries at various times have policies leaning toward Communism, as Venezuela these days.

In the culture of their day, yes, but not in our culture today. For example, women had few freedoms. They could not be part of government, vote, own land, earn money, buy large items, or enter into contracts.

Fascism was a political theory developed in Italy and Germany after WW1. Many Italians and Germans were not happy that they had lost so much land in the war and wanted to claim it back. Fascists (see ADOLF HITLER) believed that MIGHT WAS RIGHT! and believed in having a single dictator to lead them, and did away with opposition brutally. (Again, ADOLF HITLER) They hated communists and dislkied foreigners, wanting to hold onto their own country's glory.

Communists (See KARL MARX and WORKERS OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE!) believed that a person should be paid according to their status and job as well as how much land they had and etc. They were often much more at peace that fascits, and it was the former that caused most grief.
