communism vs. democracy- democracy is a govornment system where the government is run by the people. we have a representative democracy. we have the power to do all things with our country.
Capitalism- we have it in the US. its an economic system in which businesses are run by the people. free enterprise, free market, the harder you work the more you get paid.
Communism- founded by karl marx and friedrich engels. in the 1800's people were getting paid close to nothing and were not happy about it. the want of a perfect society is huge. karl marx thought that the rich were going to be taken over by the poor and the social classes would be overthrown.
bolshevik revolution- russia dropped out of ww1 to fight in it. after it they became communist.
lenin and stalin tried to make the poor vs. rich thing happen.
soviet union didnt get affected much by the great depression because the government held the jobs for everybody.
communist countries only cared about military and didnt care about the people at all, and just spent their money on the military.
Socialism- government controls businesses. schools are socialists,
