Communism - All men are equal - Classless, moneyless, revolutionary socialist society - redistribution based on needs- different types of property Real (land) property, intellectual (copyrights and patents) - intangible - Elimination of private property- liberal western idea - Equality- autonomy - Comes from Karl Marx and Ingels - from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs - human nature is collectivity
Socialism is the same thing except socialism recognizes private property.
Communism has never happened- many leaders have intentionally misused this term. ESSAYS: Be able to distinguish between theory vs. practice: beliefs and ideologies vs. what leaders really do. Historians focus on how and why things CHANGE- Emancipation, Russian Revolutions- causes and effects.
According to Karl Marx, communism was Marxism: - predicting the future- not detailed concept - Communist manifesto was written in 1848: industrialization, urbanization, increasing population and literacy rates- life was not good for the average person. Because of this, Marxist ideas were attractive to ideas because society would take care of you. - Anarchist: no government because human beings will get along and act to benefit society. - Organized religion is not good because it keeps people down: people were attracted to heaven, now people are attracted to this ideology. - From Germany- highly industrialized state= Westerner writing about his understanding of history and what he sees the future as. - Completely centered around social class - Marxist-Leninist is very different- goes against Marxist ideas - What Bolsheviks did was not true Marxism - According to Marx, communism is the last step of Marxism- how human beings will evolve to someday, but this step was not described in detail because it was a THEORY. - Bolsheviks took power with the promise of a utopia- 3 generations of “promise” in the future. Although it was supposed to be a utopia for the proletariats, the working class is where the change came from. -
