Communism


 * Communism**

Is defined as a socioeconomic political ideology that promotes the establishment of a classless and stateless society based on common ownership and control of production and property. This ideal was greatly seen in Germany and Russia as their way of life spilled through Europe and caused much damage through the World Wars.

Communism had the opposing belief to capitalism in which means of production are privately owned. This concept was widely known because of the teachings and beliefs of Karl Marx. He was a German philosopher, theorist, historian, and economist who wrote the famous Communist Manifesto in which he decrees, “the history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”

In this type of government, citizens have a much different purpose in society. Having common ownership means that there is a joint owning of assets by all individuals. Work is also hard labor and is done by all. Rather than being owner individuals are trustees which allows to neutralize capital and control. A classless society means that there is no distinction between wealth, income, education, or social network. This society is a co-operative of owners and employers and a stateless society can be born as there would be no purpose for a state government as property and goods are shared collectively.

Citizens work together under one government for a common interest and for equal goods. Unlike our previous thinking of what a "good Citizen is" in a communist society one who is obedient and does not question authority is sought to be valued. The Constitution of the Communist World decrees that citizens have to protect the environment and preserve historical monuments, respect rights and interest of others, and parents should raise children properly.
