Communism is a political and economic system meant to eliminate the capitalist inspired class system where the elite class benefits by exploiting the working class. While all communist regimes have undergone a violent Stalinist or Maoist phase in their initial attempts at a socialist government, their paths have later diverged; some states, such as China, Cuba, and the Soviet Union, have democratized and opened their doors to foreign influence and trade, while others, such as North Korea, remain trapped in an ongoing period of Stalinist stasis. By analyzing the internal and external influences on each state, it is evident these factors are responsible for their respective divergences from Stalinism and Maoism, and several patterns offering…
Defining Nazi-Soviet Relations by Political Philosophy Communism and Fascism, at one glance, seems to be similar in the philosophy of collectivism and anti-democracy. However, the two philosophies cannot coexist due to the striking differences in loyalty and social roles. Both philosophies agreed on two major ideas that people should blend into their communities and that capitalism was unfair and harmful. However, Communism believes that the people are loyal to their social class, so they are loyal to people internationally in the same class (Stalin). However, Fascism strongly denies loyalty across nations, since it strongly urges for national pride and loyalty (Franco; “25 Points”).…
Fascist governments stay in power by promising safety to a select few. Communism government stay in power by inflicting force and fear to people. In the fascist form of government, they demand that they control the citizens of where they lead. The dictator of the fascists also takes control of the military and the educational systems. In the communist form of government, they take…
Whenever I learn about communism or communist countries, I always end up asking the teacher or other classmates whether or not communism is bad. To truly come to the decision whether communism is good or bad you have to first understand what communism is. A communist government is an economic structure that promotes the establishment of classless society based on common ownership of products. Communism in its own is political theory derived from Karl Marx in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and NEEDS. Communism was created by two German philosophers named Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.…
The communism and capitalism clash polarized the world during the cold war. Since in the end a capitalist country won we were taught that the theory of communism is wrong and inferior to that of capitalism. The question that should be asked is whether a country’s economy would excel better while controlled through communism, in contrast to the free economy through capitalism. To decide which of these extreme socioeconomic theories meets the needs of its citizens one must look at the differences and similarities between the two. Capitalism and communism do share some similarities, but they also have indisputable differences regarding their origins, ideology, and geography…
Communism and fascism are both forms of socialism, because their aim is to hand over all means of production to the government. Their ideologies are different however; communists seek give power to the government through a revolution of the working class, and there is a focus on an international class struggle, whereas fascist governments, are more focused on the strengthening of their individual nation.…
Socialism, just similar to communism, appeals for placing the foremost revenues of manufacture in the indicators of the people, either one straightly otherwise through the government. It correspondingly considers that prosperity and revenue ought to be shared more in the same way among individuals (Merritt). Merritt stated that forefathers of monarchy are impartial like a dictatorship where one side is totalitarian as in 20% and the other side is 80% of any governmental power scale. Current republics are instituted on the indication that control lies with the rest of the people; however, anyone can be counted in and left out from the classification of the people has diversely transmitted throughout history (Different). In contemporary eras,…
Communism is a political system where all economic and social is controlled by a totalitarian state. Totalitarism is a system that requires subservience to the state. Communism has never fully worked up to the potential people thought it had when Karl Marx created the communist party in 1844. The idea to fully bridge the gap between rich and poor never worked. Socialism is a toned down version of communism in the fact that communism controls the whole state while socialism controls a big piece but not the whole pie.…
While the anti-fascist movement initiated by the Popular Front did not directly end the spread of fascism, it achieved its goal in uniting artists for a political cause and set the precedent for the abstract expressionism movement to do the same against communism. Immediately following the Second World War, the United States experienced a major shift away from the progressive New Deal era to a more conservative era. The ideology of social responsibility ushered in by the various reform programs of the New Deal was replaced by a renewed emphasis on the individual’s opportunity for success. Under a conservative mindset, individual freedom, free enterprise, and new internationalism became the new hallmarks of American democracy. These individualistic qualities were in direct…
Freedom and control cannot coexist in the same space because they contradict one another. According to Webster-Merriam dictionary, freedom is “the quality or state of being free: as the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action” whereas control is “directing something’s actions or functions; to cause something to act or function in a certain way.” In terms of political ideologies, Fascism and Laissez Faire Capitalism are prime examples of control and freedom. Fascism, an ideology made popular by Benito Mussolini in his essay The Doctrine of Fascism, restricted and subordinated the individual freedoms of countrymen to the betterment of the nation by coercion.…
Whilst communism and capitalism are the economic systems in one point, the main difference is the control of production instruments; whether to have collective ownership or private property. In capitalism, owning the instruments of production is free, but it is also very difficult to maintain this ownership because of the constraints to generate revenue in the perfect competition. Whereas production instruments are shared equally in the communist system, so each individual has the right to use common goods and services. Of course, it is not clear the level of sharing equally. Briefly, communism calls for an economic order of sharing the ownership.…
