Are ethnic countries more susceptible to communism and dictatorship?

Question

I don't know...I was just observing communistic countries (present day and history) that are ran by dictatorship and noticed that communism and dictatorship is easier to obtain when minorities are rare. Are the people easier to control in countries like that?

Answer 1

You suggestion is false. The largest communist countries - the Soviet Union and China - had/have many different minorities within their borders. Just look at all the different countries the Soviet Union broke into.

Answer 2

It is very based on level of education, and adherance to religious doctrine. As the level of education goes up people do not hold on the religion so much becase there is not so much unknown anymore. Furthermore, with education, people begin to see that there is more to life then their tiny corner of the world, and will tolerate less oppression.
