Everything belongs to the State - including the people. Everything must serve the State.
Individual rights do not matter - the Greater Good is the goal.
Most of the time a Police State is required to keep a high percentage of the population loyal to the state.
Everyone must believe in the state and its ultimate authority in order for a communist society to function. That is why most communist states discourage religion amongst the populace. If God existed then he would take loyalty and authority away from the state.

Main Ideas Of Communism
2016-12-31 03:15:06 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
Everyone is treated equally. Doesn't matter if they're a doctor, a policeman or a janitor, they all work towards supporting the community. So, they all receive the same pay. Sounds great, and looks good on paper as well. But it leaves out one small, itsy, bitsy factor. The nature of man is greed. To strive towards getting ahead and being better than the guy beside them. In communism, everyone is supposed to get paid equally, regardless of how hard or whether they worked or not. Capitalsim plays also on greed. It plays on the idea of privilege. The harder you work, the mor you earn. The more you earn, the greater your privilege.

Check this website out. There's lots there.
Regarding capitalism, we all know it's a lie that 'the harder you work, the more you earn.' The hardest working in this culture are by far the least paid.
Marx argued that the history of human conflict is the history of class warfare. He argued that classes, the problem, come from capitalism/feudalism. Therefore, capitalism should be eliminated. (Marx also believed capitalism would inevitably, but not soon enough, lead to communism. He said hyper-capitalism, where more and more is in the hands of fewer and fewer (sounds like us) and the outcome would, of necessity, be communism.
Many people are suffering, however, from the cruelties of capitalism, and so one shouldn't just wait for this, but actively throw off the oppressing class and bring about equity through revolution. Marx felt failed solutions to the problem are the various socialist states. The only solution is communism, the elimination of social class.

Communism is an ideology that seeks to establish a classless, stateless social organization based on common ownership of the means of production.
Healthcare for everyone, FREE
Education, FREE
"from each according to his ability, to each according to his need".
businesses are strictly owned by the government, no private busninesses
Anti free trade and imperialism
everyone has a decent place to live, no one is richer than the other.
no capitalist pyramid where the rich are at the top
the working class is in control, the people are in control and a dictator represents the proletariat or working class
communism is achieved thru a revolution

They are basically all the same but socialism allow for elections. Commnism allows for elections but only within the communist part(group dictatorship). Marxism is the basis for both. The code word for all three is the word Fair which they use to take from thise that produce. Facism is the Obama way where selected corporate giants are allowed to live large while everyone else is supposed to live under their definition of fair.

There are different versions of Communism that believe in different things, but in general they believe in having the means of production (that is, factories, agricultural land, etc) owned by the community or state rather than by individuals, and having goods distributed equally.

Communism focuses on the abolition of private property and the equal distribution of all property to everyone.
