communism

A form of socialism; it is the final phase of revolutionary change in an industrialized country, where workers rebel and inevitably install a socialist government. Many countries have undertaken the doctrine of Karl Marx's theory of communism, but those countries took long enough to realize that communism just simply doesn't work. Communism is actually not very people-based, and one important thing to mention is that communist nations are run by dictators and only dictators. America and communism don't mix because America's founding principles are based on individual freedom, privacy, and other non-intrusive elements that socialism contrasts. And communist nations have a history of being run via civil oppression.

communism

A politcial theory where every person in a society is equal, given all life needs (food, shelter, ect.) equally, and where there is no central governing body or group opf people (hard to have everyone be equal with a few leaders telling the masses what to do). In theory, the most utopian and 'perfect' of the 3 major social forms. In practice, can never effectivly happen in practice mainly because tghe average human being needs and desires asome sort of governing structure, whether it be very strict (See facisim ) or very loosly (See anarchist) applied. This structure tend to fall into a more Socialist social order when applied in the real world. Eventhough the orgionators fo this social order said this structure would be best suited for the large Capitolistic nations of their era (England, USA, ect.), the most noted use of this system was inside the Former Soviet Union and the Peoples Repulic of China. The Soviet system, though lasting over 7 decades, ended with the country ditching the One Party system for a more Democratic based model after the country practically became bankrupt in 1989. China has grown more Socialist since it's conversion to the Commuinst structure in 1947, mainly do to their laxing, however small, of certain 'communist' ideals for more democratic princliples (such as individualism and ownership of property).
