Is Communism Possible?

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

     I think that this is a very good hypothesis put in front of us by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels. They do a superb job of explaining the problem with the existing government. They also give a vehicle for change in the next chapter. So its seems that I should be ready for a communist revolution. The problem with this is that it is just a good hypothesis. As with all hypothesis’s they must be tested and the communist hypothesis has failed most of its tests. I must hand it to Mr. Marx, since I was born and raised in a very anti-communist country and after reading two chapters in his book I was almost ready to join him. He is a

“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

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 described as the idea, of karl marx, supporting class war, leading to a community, in which all estate is owned by the public, also each individual is paid by their skill and qualification to work, according to their needs (Merriam-Webster, 2017). Life in Communist Cuba spoken from

“You say individuality vanishes. You must therefore confess that by “individual” you mean no other person than the bourgeois, than the middle-class owner of property” (The Communist Manifesto 16) The idea of communism is to encourage people to actually be individuals while being an active member of society.

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.

     There are many different outcomes and problems that can occur as a result of the different systems. The benefits for communism are set up on a larger scale that takes time and effort, as for capitalism hard work produces quick gains. Since it is harder for people of communism to see direct results from their hard work, there can be a tendency of people doing less, but still receiving the same as everyone else. Thus, there needs to be some type of point system, which makes sure each person does enough work to show for the goods received. If the work is not done then something needs to be done, such as not giving them their share, jail time, or kicked out of the community, resulting in poorer living standards. Capitalism however, gives each individual a choice of the benefits they will receive from working hard or not. You still have the chance to be poor, but unlike communism you have the chance to become rich. In communism the hardest workers receive the same, but in capitalism the hardest workers reap the most rewards.

What is communism? Communism is a term used broadly to designate a ‘theory or system of social organization based on the holding of all property in common, actual ownership being ascribed to the community as a whole or to the state.’ It refers to the doctrine which underlines the revolutionary movement which aims to abolish capitalism and ultimately to establish a society in which all goods will be socially owned, all economic activates socially planned and controlled, and in which all distributions will be in accordance with the maxim. German author Emil Ludwig described the maxim as “for each according to his capacity, to each according to his need.”(1) It is to be distinguished from socialism which aims by constitutional and democratic

This site has series of debates on the USA as a communist state, this has several debates going on at the same time to make you think about the USA as a communist state. It also covers what would happen if the us fell to communism today. and if the us will ever fall. Currently the debate has a seventy five percent chance to fall to communism. The leading argument on the page says that the legislative branch is no longer respected by the executive branch and how they will take control as a dictator. Like in 1984 how we have big brother in control. It brings up how our own government is turning against us and homeland security is trying to squash local militias. Personal favorite speaks of how trump has rapidly passed his executive orders as

Marxism is a government based on the economic theory that “private ownership of the means of production” is how we our economy should be run. (“What is Marxism..”). Communism evolved from the theory of marxism. An individual owns only his ability to work and does not have the right to see the fruit of his labor. The individual only earns what his supervisor decides he should receive. People are “..worth what they produce...” (“What is Marxism...”). This government would not work for our society because it would lead to societal collapse. This theory only works if fear is instilled into people and posses a strong military to ensure fear remains in the people. To think we could bring to life a theory in a basic society with no leaders chosen is nothing more than ludicrous. The perfect government for our society is a Republic. The word comes from Latin, res publica, which means “...the public thing...” (“Republic”). Republics are seen constantly throughout history. By analyzing Greek leaderships, we can truly understand Republics (“Republic”). Republics are similar to direct democracies. In a direct democracy, no matter race, gender, or age, all people are allowed to vote. In Republic, people are elected into place. They vote and make decisions for all people. Republics are based upon the theory that “sovereignty rests with the peoples” (“Republic”). Republics are unique because

Is America a hypocritical society and is forwarding communist propaganda to its impressionable youth? Well, no, since none of us really took it to heart. Anyways, the philosophy that underlies the notion Marx was trying to convey is essentially part of human nature, don’t be a selfish and greedy jerk and share, but a society based on that notion? It simply wouldn’t work. Human nature wouldn’t allow it to work. In the Manifesto itself, Marx and Engels maintain their positions with reasonable arguments, saying that in the history of humanity and society, power and class struggles are the virus, and that socialism should replace capitalism. The Communist Manifesto was integrated in many societies and they subsequently failed due to the leaders and mishandling of the Manifesto; they didn´t create a society that embodied the principles that made up the Communist Manifesto. Even if they had, it would fail. What is the point in putting in precious time for a more difficult job if you get paid the same as everyone else? Can passion outweigh all the extra time? The economy is under complete control, so the state can simply starve its people. That’s what Stalin did. There is no personal

If we can take Marx’s and Engel’s phrase of “dictatorship of the proletariat,” it can be interpreted as the state’s power is in the control of the working people, not the higher classes. This idea was directed towards having finally separated capitalism and communism. According to spunk, a website I’ve found, it states that it is “ the vehicle of abolishing the state” (spunk.org). The necessity of having the phrase “dictatorship of the proletariat” was to create a progressive life for the workers, an equality way of living and ruling. On the same website it states that the need to create this proletariat-led state, was to “…suppress capitalist resistance, and develop the nationalized means of production as rapidly as possible in order to overcome relative scarcity and shorten the workday, this allowing all workers to participate in the affairs of society” (Spunk.org).

     What is Communism? Communism is the doctrine of the conditions of the liberation of the proletariat. It also can be defined as a conceptualized system of government in which resources and production facilities are the property of the entire society rather than individuals. In a communist society, labor is shared equally as well, and the benefits of labor are distributed according to need (Communism.4all 1). No one person shall be ranked higher than another and there is to be one person in charge of the society in a communism government. There are still to this day many countries that fall under the rule of communism and the ways they were transformed under communist rule is quite interesting.
