Answer 2

1. Most of the time when people say communism they are refereeing to a coerced communism. Any system enforced by government is coerced. True capitalism is not enforced by government.

2. Voluntary Communism can exist within a capitalist system.

3. Voluntary capitalism cannot exist within coerced Communism.

4. A form of communism was tried in the Plymouth colony in North America. It did not work so the colonists moved to a capitalist system.

5. Today the People’s Republic of China is slowly but surely moving away from Communism to a quasi-capitalist economy. It’s economy is growing as a result.

6. Today, Vietnam is slowly but surely moving away from Communism to a quasi-capitalist economy. It’s economy is growing as a result.

7. Coerced communism requires central planners. Central planners need to get paid via tax dollars. True capitalism does not need central planners.

8. Some of the most strident advocates of capitalism were once communists.

9. South Korea and North Korea are almost identical except for their political systems. Communist North Korea is far, far, poorer than its capitalist neighbor to the South. It is also far poorer than the People’s Republic of China that is slowly but surely moving towards a quasi-capitalist economy.

10. Eastern Europe when it was under Communism was a far worse polluter than Western Europe or the United States.

150 years ago the idea of Communism was invented


Communism, which is also described as "Revolutionary Proletarian Socialism" or "Marxism," is both a political and economic philosophy

Communism doesn't end with economic and political reform.

Communism, though distinctive, is thought by some to have been heavily influenced by Czarism, a Totalitarian regime replaced by Communism after Russia's 1917 Revolution.

Answer 4

1. It was an economic model put together by Karl Marx and Frederich Engels in a treatise called "The Communist Manifesto".
2. It expanded on Karl Marx's book "Capital" (Das Kapital) which dealt with alternatives to capitalism.
3. It mandated state ownership of all means of production and not private ownership.
4. It envisioned all of the people sharing in the wealth generated by that production.
5. It was further modified by Nikolai Lenin, the first leader of Soviet Russia who added "Dictatorship of the Proletariate" as a doctrine. The State would use dictatorial methods to ensure that the State did own those means of production and would further guide the efforts of all people in generating that production.
6. It enjoyed a certain fascination among European and American intellectuals from the creation of Soviet Russia until the late 1930s. It was at that point where the leader of the Soviet Union signed a non-agression treaty with Germany, a nation with a political system that was the complete opposite of communism: national socialism with a fascist government.
7. It served as a model to "jump start" the economies of former colonies in Asia and Africa.
8. It served as a model to "jump start" the economy of post-war China and as a model of national unification as well.
9. It went through another modification after Mikael S. Gorbachev became the leader of the Soviet Union in 1985. He introduced the concepts of "persetroika" (restructuring) and "glasnost (openness) to modify the Soviet economy and the dictatorship of the proletariat.
10. It collapsed of its own weight in the Soviet Union in late 1991 because the economic model was built on faulty theories and the political model blunted the natural aspirations of people for a bettering of their lives.

Answer 5

In Star Trek the Next Generation, the cube shaped monolith and its collective the Borg were supposed to represent Communism as a grey trudging collective lacking exciting individualism. But how does that explain '7of9'? Communism had its secrets.

Answer 6

So you want us to do your homework?
1) It was first written as a theory about economics by Karl Marx in the Manifesto.
2) The Communist Manifesto was adopted by the early workers' unions in the USA. It's theories are still being 'sold' by the Unions here to the members, but you will never, ever here a union shop steward or a union president say he is, or that the union is , active practitioners of Communism.
3) It presumes a ruling class of 5% of the population and a "working" class of 95% of the population.
4) In theory, it equalizes the work of a brain surgeon to that of a shoe clerk. This theory also then supposedly eliminates the class ( upper, middle, lower ) system.
