I. Communism
The reason why Communism is still be researched is because it is the
first time a documented political philosophy has failed. There are usually
different factors involved in a political philosophy and one of these issues
is human rights. Communism may abuse human rights but to the advantage of
the whole or also known as the "State" which is the emblem of unification
and solidarity. The thing that makes the USA unique is the blending of
states in a republic which is a right-wing idea. Most major political
philosophy is drawn from historic incidents and Plato theory. Marx initially
drew up Communism in order to disolve government after the revolution but
failed and ended up going to jail for the sentiment against Russia. I will
not cover Mao's philosophy on Communism. Take into account that Communism
is all encompassing
A. Stalinism
Stalin wanted to unify Russia and keep a strong hold. He in turn
killed over a million people under the Iron Curtain. His tactics were meant
to keep the USSR together and strike fear in all those who could add to the
doubt of Russia. Even history was changed to make sure that there was 100
percent support.
B. Marx-Leninism
This is all in Lenin's time of ruling. It is known as Marx-Leninism
because Lenin held beliefs close to what Marx had. Lenin was a revolutionist
with ideas and bold speeches. Lenin wrote alot of text on his own ideas
about Communism and began the transition of Communism in Russia.
