The Collapse Of A Communist Government

The era that preceded the formation of the Soviet Union was earmarked with social unrest, famine, and failed governments. After many struggles, many smaller soviet republics joined to form a large conglomerate nation, known as the Soviet Union in 1922. Vladimir Lenin, leader at the time, replaced the failing capitalist government with a communist government. . At the end of WWII, most of Eastern and Central Europe’s countries were being occupied by the soviet army. They came to be controlled by the Soviet government and pulled back behind an “iron Curtain”. Winston Churchill’s famed Iron curtain remark refers to the countries that fell under the spell of the Soviet Union and shut out the western world ways of capitalism. The countries of

Communist had a long history during the 20th century, and communism was very influential. Almost all of Asia and East Europe became Communist. From the start of the theory then many civil wars in Russia affected the whole world. Communist defined the idea of itself in many different ways, it helps many nations came together formed a party fought wars, but it also made many countries became really poor, and the economy in most of the countries got pushed back about 10 years. Communism is an economic and political system that sought to create an egalitarian society; it collapsed because of personal interest and government’s corruption.

communism entered a period of crisis in the late 20th century. By the 1980's it

Moreover, the New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street has a significant economic influence as it known to be the leading financial center of the world. Following the attacks of 9/11, it was forced to close down due to security reasons, and wasn’t opened again until September 17. The week that it had opened back, many of the market’s stocks such as DJIA had decreased considerably. All of the markets that people had invested in had to be gradually brought up again as business wasn’t in circulation in the aftermath of 9/11. In 2001 revenue, U.S. stocks lost $1.4 trillion in valuation for the week after its initial opening. The U.S government provided $11.2 billion in immediate assistance to the Government of New York City along with $10.5 billion in early

The show also didn’t show the political tension of the decade. One of the if not the biggest political tension of this time was McCarthyism. This was what really sent off the red scare. In 1950 Senator McCarthy gave a speech where he said he knew 205 communist who worked for the Department of State. He reported 81 cases the day of his speech and skipped many numbers and repeated the same flimsy evidence. The Senate called for a full investigation and many peoples lives was ruined due to all the false accusations. All of this lasted until 1954 when McCarthy attacked the military with his claims and the military questioned McCarthy's methods and credibility. Then poll after poll the citizens turned on McCarthy, then McCarthy’s colleagues censured

The Cold War was a time of great tension between the Capitalist and Communist "worlds." The United States presents these tensions in the Truman Doctrine as the Communists trying to convert any country in need after the second World War to their type of government, which would then create a domino effect of other countries falling under Communism, therefore they need to help many countries get back on their feet as well have their governments Democratic and free. Nikita Khrushchev, leader of the Soviet Union during this time, explained in his "cult of personality" how Stalin made mistakes before he was in power and therefore pursues to ease

After World War II, the Soviet Union wanted to create more communist nations, especially along their western border, to prevent themselves from being vulnerable to attack from the West again as they had been from Nazi Germany. Countries like the United States and Great Britain did not want the Soviet Union to spread communism but some Eastern European countries that had been victims of the Nazi regime saw communism as a good way to prevent another fascist regime from rising. Combined with the fact that most Eastern European had a history of unstable government systems and were in poor economic and political states, communism had a very large appeal to most Eastern Europeans. With the help of Soviet military intervention, communism quickly

The quick collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 appalled everyone in the West, but that is because no one outside the Soviet Union knew what was going on. The Soviet government’s lies of economic success and superiority over the Western capitalist states had controlled the citizens of Russia to believe that the USSR’s Communist regime was growing for half a decade. It wasn’t until Mikhail Gorbachev that mocked previous leaders like Stalin and Brezhnev for being responsible for not improving the Soviet economy. Gorbachev’s reforms to modernize the USSR created more freedom and openness for Russians, but sprawled uprisings and revolutions in the Central Asia and the Baltic states. The inability to keep up with the United States economically in the 1970s and 1980s along with the later reforms to improve the Soviet economy in Gorbachev’s term led to the downfall of the USSR.

Communism is an economic system where the government owns the means of production, and is one where there is no private ownership because it is under the control of the communities or the state. Since its proposal in 1848 by German Philosophers, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, in their book, “The Communist Manifesto”, there are many who have been influenced by the writings of Marx and Engels. This has led to many revolutions and establishments of governments with the “communist ideals” of peace, solidarity, and labour.

On November 23, 1989, the Berlin Wall succumbed to the hands of masses of people, synonymous with the collapse of both the Soviet Union and the fall of communism. Yet, as the ‘free’ world rejoiced in this accomplishment, the economic and socioeconomic factors involved in a post-communist transition led to a drastic increase in human trafficking

Many political beliefs exist. Everyone has the right to chose what to believe in, what ideas to have, what to seek and how to achieve his goals. Political science is not very defined and strict. Specific rules saying that if one believes in a certain idea he should join a certain party do not exist. Certain things match certain group of people and other things this group of people would not accept. The same principle can be applied for countries. Communism appears to be successful for China, but it failed for Eastern European countries. It is very important the proper way of government to be found and used by the government of a country. The failure of the government can lead to failure in

As anybody with a degree of political knowledge would understand, throughout history, communism has had a hand in the downfall of several organized governments. The reasons for these failures are all similar in nature. Usually because of lack of motivation for the workforce due to no incentive to succeed when everyone is rewarded equally regardless of effort. Socialism is similar, but to a less extensive degree, and democracy is arguably headed into the same direction. I write this to project truth and my collective knowledge on the matter.

The Communist system created by Karl Marx has ultimately failed due to Marx’s inability to comprehend human nature and motivation, the importance of strong government, and the changing dynamic of the world economy. The extremely idealistic nature of The Communist Manifesto is the reason for the problematic nature of the system proposal. Marx failed to consider practical issues or rely on reason when creating Communism. This fatal flaw, his complete belief in a Utopian society, has led to the lack of success of the system in all attempts. Marx’s naïve faith in the perfectibility of human nature led to Communism being an ineffectual system. Therefore, the adoption of Communism has always required major changes to the original plan, and even then, has often been characterized by utter failure.

Everyone would like to live in a perfect society, and in Germany, Karl Marx set out to do just that by creating the government system known as Communism. Though, this system has failed in many countries all over the world because of many significant flaws in the very foundation of the system. Some of the most feared probabilities in society that Communism was created to eliminate still prevailed and were at the heart of the system’s downfall. If the system was infallible, why were so many of its principles created out of the fear of rebellion? The living conditions of the people were unbearable and would lead to nothing but rebellion. The whole system was full of corruption and had no moral standards. Communism has failed in many countries

Recently the senate and county elections in the Czech Republic confirmed that the preference of Czech voters is shifting to the left, what's more the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia got the second highest number of votes. The results are disturbing, because the last time Communists won the polls, the Czechs ended up being oppressed for over 40 years until they managed to overthrow the government. Now it seems that the same people have suffered from a collective memory loss. Have they forgotten how life was before 1989 and what crimes the communists committed during their reign? Voting for the communists is a mistake, which should never be made, because it
