Question

Readings. (Other than wikipedia)

Try here for facism:

http://www.couplescompany.com/Features/Politics/Structure3.htm

Answer 2

my first response would be to not look at websites. most teachers do not like to see websites because they are not of scholarly work. Go to your library. There are plenty of books out there that will talk about Communism and fascism. Most libraries have a computer database of books. Enter in the topics and anything related to them will come up.

Answer 3

This is a museum of communism from George Mason University.
www.gmu.edu/departments/
economics/bcaplan/museum/
musframe.htm

This is from the Library of Economics and Liberty.
www.econlib.org/library/Enc/
Fascism.html


Those both explain the concepts very well.

Answer 4

Ebillar; But first, I most strongly advise you to quickly 'read-up' on the life's work of,
one Robert Owens. From THAT you will (then) BE working from the inescapable
premise of a couple of 'Reasons de etre' -of [the very need for] Sociallism.
(You see IT comes DOWN to, Production, AND Worker-Inspiration, and Satisfaction..

Also, a huge PROBLEM you are soon to encounter, is that -in 2007;
it is singuarly quite difficult, on reading ANYTHING Karl Marks first ellucidated..
to find a ting that has proven, correct:"withstood, even the simple test-of-time!
(Read ONLY his very LATER works -as he'd already realised his various theories
were, in fact, "at Odds" -with, normal Human Nature..

After Communism, read the 1927/'28 works of THE Genius, Freinrich von Hayek.
HE answers every quirk -and every 'quirk of the Market..
(which, after-all decides
MOST things: "the vaguaries of The Market");
don't waste your young enthusiasm
reading ONE WORD of either, Che' Guevara,
nor the Russian Union-Man, Lennin:
(neither had really any education in Economics)..

Get Iterested: for their is a Hugely-stretched Asset-Bubble in The West..
and it IS starting to RUPTYURE! Many [will lose] their Life's Savings:
similar to what happened -back in late 1989; then "got OUT of Control"..
-being rapidly followed-by a true,"full-blown", Economic Depression,
-and one with its roots in America: (Nixon) funding the latter-part of the ill-gotten
Vietnam -Conflict, on CREDIT(!).. and the "rot' had begun in 1972/'73..
. and the 1980's 'boom' really only served to make the 'Already (Westerner)"Rich",
-richer, still! (The abundant mid 80's wealth simply wasn't 'spread to lasting,
essential infristructure! -not shared-out, intelligently.. (but President Marcos
[saw to it] that ship-loads of schoolbooks were sent, AND distributed-
by the tonne -to all Mindanao, (& Visayan schools who previously had NONE !!);
due to the gross-incompetence of the previous Administrations!)..

But many of the Third World Loans (that, like in the African cases, and -especially
The Philippines)- only 'assisted you' into deeper, and deeper debt, and thence:
perrenial enslavement, for the working populations of your rural citizenry..
(Hence the secretly-powerfull resurgence of the clandestine N.P.A...)

But, next year, DO NOT -in the end- neglect to read every word spoken/written,
by Hayek: it will give you hope, and insight INTO a "Middle Path"-way;
one, that BOTH the Clintons
-of-Whitehouse Fame well-understood HOW.. to put into practice: for the Benefit of ALL.
