| ARTICLES RELATED TO Criticisms of communism | | | |  Criticisms of communism: Encyclopedia II - Communism - Early CommunismThe notion of communism has a long history in Western thought, long predating Marx and Engels. Already in ancient Greece the idea of communism was connected to a myth about the "golden age" of humanity, when society lived in full harmony, before private property developed. Some have argued that Plato's The Republic and works by other ancient political theorists advocated communism in the form of communal living, and that various early Christian sects (and in particular the early Church, as recorded in Acts of the Apostles, chapter 2 v ...

| | | | | Criticisms of communism: Encyclopedia II - Communism - Marxism Like other socialists, Marx and Engels sought an end to capitalism and the exploitation of workers. But whereas earlier socialists often favored longer-term social reform, Marx and Engels believed that popular revolution was all but inevitable, and the only path to socialism.
According to the Marxist argument for communism, the main characteristic of human life in class society is alienation; and communism is desirable because it entails the full realization of human freedom. Marx here follows G.W.F. Hegel in conceiving freedom not me ...

| | | | | Criticisms of communism: Encyclopedia II - Communism - Communism after the collapse of the Soviet Union In 1985, Mikhail Gorbachev became leader of the Soviet Union and relaxed central control, in accordance with reform policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring). The Soviet Union did not intervene as Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, and Hungary all abandoned Communist rule by 1990. In 1991, the Soviet Union itself dissolved.
By the beginning of the 21st century, states under control by Communist parties under a single-party system include the People's Republic of China, Cuba, Laos, North Kore ...

| | | | | Criticisms of communism: Encyclopedia II - Anti-communism - Background Today, many liberal anti-communists object to the lack of individual freedom in Communist states, criticize the way in which the concept of democracy is interpreted by communists very differently than in Western liberal democracy, and critique the socialist economic programs proposed by communists.
Many communists rebut this criticism by saying that democracy is actually essential for a planned economy to prevent what many more left-winged communists call "state-capitalism", in which they say a dictatorship would act just as oppressive to t ...

Conservative and liberal critics of communism often oppose Marxism or even socialism in general. They see communism as a doctrine based on radical, and incorrect, arguments. They believe that capitalism gives economic freedoms to everyone (whereas the communists believe only the bourgeoisie [see Marxism] have economic liberties over the proletariat), and regard the lack of property rights under co ...

Following World War II and the rise of the Soviet Union many of the objections to Communism took on an added urgency because of the stated Communist view that the ideology was universal. The fear of many anti-Communists within the United States was that Communism would triumph throughout the entire world and eventually be a direct threat to the government of the United States. This ...

Anti-communism - Objections to Communist theory.
The central part of Karl Marx's communist theory is historical materialism, a methodology for studying history using dialectical reasoning which concludes that human society has grown or evolved through several historical stages due to the contradictions inherent in each stage, with each transition to the next stage involving the overthrow of the existing socioeconomic order. This idea was first theorized by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, but Marx used it to justif ...

| | | | | Criticisms of communism: Encyclopedia II - Anti-communism - Fascism and Anti-Communism Fascism and "Soviet" communism are political systems that arose to prominence after World War I. Historians of the period between World War I and World War II such as E.H. Carr and Eric Hobsbawm point out that liberal democracy was under serious stress in this period and seemed to be a doomed philosophy. The success of the Russian Revolution of 1917 resulted in a brief revolutionary wave across Europe, in Germany and Hungary in particular. The socialist movement worldwide split into separate social democratic and Leninist wings with the form ...

| | | | | Criticisms of communism: Encyclopedia II - Anti-communism - Repression and Anti-Communism After the October Revolution, allied intervention troops tried to crush the revolution. In the summer of 1918, some 13,000 American soldiers, 44,000 British, 13,000 French, and 80,000 Japanese were fighting against the Red Army. In addition, these countries provided significant financial and material help to the White Movement (e.g., United States provided 500,000 US dollars, 400,000 rifles, etc.).
Communist political parties and organizations were actively opposed by conservative governments in Eastern Europe after the failed communi ...

In other cases, the speaker may be referring only to gay men. There are many identifyable "sub-communities" - the leather community, the bear community, the chubby community, the lesbian community, the bisexual community, the transgendered community, the drag community, the rave community, and so on.
Some people (including many mainstream American journalists) interpret the phrase ...
