Communism Is Still Considered A Hard Topic To Publicly

In a communist economic system, decisions are made by the overall community. In practice, attempts to implement a communist system have developed state-driven economies benefiting only single-party political elitists not accountable to their citizens. Capital assets are owned collectively by the state rather than private parties. Labor rates and the prices of goods are established by the government rather than supply and

“In a communist society, all private ownership would be abolished, and the means of production would belong to the entire community” (Ruven Chu). This shows that the creators of communism, Karl Marx and Frederick Engles, didn’t like how capitalism had classes so they thought that everyone should get the same things. Also, the people must do what they can. “In the communist movement, popular slogans stated that everyone gave according to their abilities…” (Ruven Chu). This sh[l-ows that in order to get the goods and land, people had to do all they could. That is how Karl Marx and Frederick Engles changed it so that people do all they can, and share all they get.

“The class of the wholly property laws, who are obliged to sell their labor to the bourgeoisie in order to get in exchange, the means of subsistence for their support. This is class of the class of proletarians, or the proletariat.” As we know that “The communism is a theoretical statement of the conditions for the emancipation of the proletariat.” It is the doctrine of the liberation of the proletariat. There were no such labor and rich people cannot own any worker. In society everybody have his or her own farmland, but all the production is owned by the state. How much food each person will get is depending on how much food they contributed to the country. In the idea of communism everybody has to share, and there are no such individual secrets. All the people should have the same interests. According to the research few students at Stanford University did, “in a communist society, the individual’s best interests are indistinguishable from the society’s best interest. Thus the idea of an individual freedom is incompatible with communist ideology. The reason to hold an individual speech and information rights would likely be met only in certain instances rather then across time. Making the default a lack of freedom.” Not only share and have same interest, they also share their benefit together. Communist focuses on the benefits to society instead of individual. All the land was

Communism is a “Political theory advocating class war and leading to a society which all property is publicly owned and each person works and paid according to their abilities” After world war 2 communism took over Czechoslovakia and people flocked to join the party. Not everyone was convinced that the party was what the country needed for them to gain peace. The party had lots of propaganda and were in control of peoples live therefore convincing people to join the party even if reluctant. In Under a Cruel Star, Kovaly recounts her time after the war and joining the communist party and then being shunned when her husband was convicted of a crime. She talks about how people put blind faith in a party that didn't have much scientific evidence to back up their claims. Kovaly said the most people went to the communist party because when coming back from the concentration camp they wanted to be in control of property again and they stayed because they felt helpless without the party providing services. They went from one type of totalitarian government to another kind of government that controlled everything they did. People of the time didn't realize that communism didn't benefit people who weren't in an elite class.

The word ‘communism’ originated from ‘commun’, a French term meaning ‘belonging to all’. Before the actual foundation of communist parties and countries, there were people who had desired the theory of shared ownership and equal wealth among society for centuries. The earliest notable people to endorse this theoretical societal system included Greek philosopher Plato and religious leader

Communism is not some unverifiable, otherworldly entity, but “itself a Power” (218) already in Europe. The power of communism does not come from arbitrary political systems set up by the bourgeois, but from the natural power of labor and workers.

Communism in theory is a great government system to create equality for everyone. Yet, as history shows, communism does not always play out so well. By examining Stalin’s rule of the Soviet Union many flaws of communism are apparent. Communism creates a system of very robotic citizens free of individually and passion for the work they do. In addition it requires an extremely powerful government that controls nearly every aspect of the citizen’s life. Former communist states have many weaknesses associated with their form of government. Dehumanizing mankind and taking away ones freedom ultimately leads to revolt and the fall of the communist state.

Communism is a system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single party holds power, claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people. The idea of communism started in the 19th century by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engals. When communism first started it was an idea of a society based on common ownership of property. That idea eventually turned political and communism turned into a government. There have been communist groups in Cuba since the early 1920’s and it eventually grew into the only political party in the country. Over the years there have been many debates on what is the goal of communism in Cuba. The majority of people believe that communism

First off, Communist governments were created because of the shunning of Capitalism. Karl Marx a 19th Century philosopher saw Capitalists becoming the richest people, sitting back gaining most of the revenue while some people would have absolutely nothing. Workers were being taken advantage of, giving them poor amounts of pay, and terrible working conditions. Distinguishing this scenario, Marx decided to write the book The Communist Manifesto with another philosopher, Friedrich Eingels, to describe the goals and operations of a Communist government. He describes a Communist government as one where every person is treated the same in every way, works the same amount, so they all can achieve the same goal of a Utopian society. Expressing this,

Communism. The word sparks dread in the hearts of many Americans raised during the Cold War. What seems to be the basis for a potential utopian society in theory, so far has never, in practice, realized the desires of its institutors. Perhaps the reason communism has never been successful in effect lies in its most basic foundations. After all, a house, as most Texans can attest to, no matter how finely built, cannot stand careful scrutiny for cracks if its foundation is built on shifting soil. In The Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx addresses each of the popular objections people have, or had, towards communism. This essay seeks to explain whether he deals fairly with them all, and whether his arguments are, in the end, persuasive to

A major weakness of Communism is the idealistic image of the proletarian. Marx sees him as a man oppressed by thousands of years of servitude, who in his natural state is a good and altruistic individual. But, as we discussed in class, humans tend to be self-interested and lazy, thus, if the previous two qualities are true, Marx is left without a stable foundation, because his system relies heavily on the selflessness of people and a willingness to work without compensation. Another problem of Communism is the proposed nature of the state. The state is supposed to gather all of the resources of a nation, its property, wealth, and production, and monitor and maintain them. But, as can be seen in the previously existing and currently existing communist nations, the state is naturally corrupted by the people’s vested

Why? One, no one actually reads my blogs to begin with; but two, Communism is basically the idea that states can "oblige" you to state, making you say, "I will give up everything I have for the betterment of someone who never worked or in any way, shape, or form has attempted to better himself." And so, because so little to no one will genuinely say "aye"or even read this out of genuine curiosity; Communism has no pillar to support its heavy weight.

     Communism had one of the greatest political impacts than any other political ideas in the 20th century around the world. What is important and interesting about communism is its background, concept, and why many countries apply to this idea. This essay will generally focus on the background, ideology, and why the countries and political parties applied to this idea.

Communism has long been heralded in capitalist countries as the root of all evil. However, as with all phobias, this intrinsic fear of communism comes from a lack of knowledge rather than sound reasoning. It is that same fear that gave the world the Cold War, McCarthy's Red Scare, and the Vietnam War.

What is it about communism that makes many people scurry and cringe? In America, the mere word might as well be banned from the dictionary. The only time it is used is when talking about new aggressive movements by totalitarian communist countries. American’s tolerance level for communism is zero to none. Is communism so horrific that the thought of some forms being successful is out of the question? In society today, capitalism is the leading economic system. When compared to other systems, few meet its standards of living. Capitalists take this fact and hold it at the heart. They become close-minded to all other forms of government—especially communism.
