What exactly is Communism?
The rootword = commune = make common within a group
When a community shares everything
Everyone works for the good of the community
Everyone is equal
– no one has more than anyone else
– everyone is treated the same
Jan 22-11:45 AM
The IDEAL:
Pure Communism = a classless society
where everyone is equal and the workers
control everything for the good of the group.

How does communism actually work?
• Government is needed
• Govt organizes needs, resources & effort
• Govt assigns workers based on abilities
• Govt monitors everyone...
- Successes
- Failures
Jan 16-9:30 AM
If communism has such lofty goals and ideals,
why does it ultimately fail?
Power corrupts
Govt control creates inequality
Creates destructive greed
Doesn't allow constructive excellence
Keeps control thru fear & lies

PURE Communism = a classless society where
everyone is equal and the workers control everything
for the good of the community.
TRUE Communism = Total control of the citizens
Jan 16-9:45 AM
So, who started this idea anyway?
Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels
FYIFYIFYI
write Communist Manifesto (1848)
Calls for rich and poor classes to be dissolved and everyone
work together for the common good.
Labels groups as Bourgeoisie and Proletariat
in other words: the "rich & powerful" vs "poor & weak"
- rejected by most Europeans
- but inspiring to a few...

Vladimir Lenin & Leon Trotsky
modify "Marxism" to meet their
opinions:
Since no one will give up wealth & power voluntarily...
> Need a new political party >>> Bolshevik Party
> Need a whole new government to control work & wealth
> Need a rebellion to topple existing government
Jan 28-12:42 PM
So how do you inspire
