We talked about our upcoming non-map test. More people presented.
Communist Theory: where people of the lower class take over the upper class so society and people can do whatever they want with no government telling them what to do so everyone can be equal. EX. No Countries have used the communist theory. (Mr. Bruns talks) Karl Marx said it is unjust for 1% of people to control 99% of the money...why should everyone suffer?....he said eventually there will be a class war and the poor will overthrow the rich...they'll create an equal society...the perfect utopian society...government will wither away....(believed it won't work because someone would eventually come around and take over the govern-less world.)
Anarchy: No (absence of) government (potential chaos). EX. No successful anarchy...closest....2011-Belgium got closest to Anarchy while their government was dysfunctional because their 2 parties were arguing for about 17 months. Somalia is essentially an anarchy but they have a government, however it has very little control.
Capitalism: based on the thought that everyone has individual rights, citizens own businesses. EX. US, Canada, Mexico, U.K., Spain, all 27 European Union countries, Brazil.
Direct Democracy: The power is in the peoples hands...they vote on political issues instead of representatives voting for them. No countries have complete direct, but have aspects of it. EX. Switzerland, Italy, US... Good example: people voting for their representatives....the more the people are involved the more say they have. Its very difficult to have a complete direct because its not efficient to have millions of people voting on issues all of the time.
