The ACLU is a perfect example!
actually , you can google it, you will get a lot of information on communism and its effects throughout history.
Basically, it is when everything belongs to the government no one owns anything, property, business, nothing- and everyone shares equally as long as they believe and do as the government tells them to- jobs and family life are regulated through the government and except for governement officials and those that don't play the way those in power demand- everyone supposedly gets equal treatment and equal rations of everything
not fair but equal!

Communism is such a laughable system of "government", but there's nothing funny about its effects on humanity. The former Soviet Unions own statisticians could not come up with an accurate count of how many people were brutally murdered, starved to death or sent off to fight territorial wars of aggression against those who did not believe as they did. Most of them agree that 175,000,000(that's one hundred and seventy-five MILLION, folks...) human beings would not be out of the question, and very likely it would be more if you include non-Soviet citizens. How people can sympathize with the Lovecraftian nightmare that is Communism never ceases to amaze and dismay me. For more information, read anything by Robert Conquest or the excellent book "Koba the Dread" by Martin Amis(Son of Kingsley Amis, a reformed former supporter of Communism).

A vile form of government where thelazy sit back and do nothing and everyone else works hard for the same amount of money to support them.
all money is shared you make the same no matter how hard you work or how smart you are you are all the same in theory you are all comrades or brothers there for you all get paid the same. That is why soviet union lost and why china will to.
Capitalism is what we have in the US smart people and people who work hard get ahead. Lazy people don't get rewarded for being lazy. That is why america is the strongest , best and wealthyest country in the world.

A system of social organization in which all economic and social
activity is controlled by a totalitarian state dominated by a single
and self-perpetuating political party. All property will be owned
wholly as a communal or by the state as a whole but not private ownership.

Communism is a political ideology that seeks to establish a future classless, stateless social organization based upon common ownership of the means of production and the absence of private property.

All people live equally. No class system. No incentive allowed to achieve more. Usually people living under communism tend to be poor and have a poor lifestyle.
