  1. Theory of Communism By Sara and Cass!

  2. Definition Communism is a social, political and economic movement that aims at the establishment of a classless and stateless communist society structured upon common ownership of the means of production. This ideology significantly influenced the history of the 20th century, which saw intense rivalry between the "socialist world" (communist states) and the "capitalist world" (countries with market economies and democratic forms of government), culminating in the Cold War between the Eastern bloc and the "Free World". In Marxist theory, communism is a specific stage of historical development that inevitably emerges from the development of the productive forces that leads to a superabundance of material wealth, allowing for distribution based on need and social relations based on freely associated individuals. The exact definition of communism varies, and it is often mistakenly, in general political discourse, used interchangeably with socialism; however, Marxist theory contends that socialism is just a transitional stage on the road to communism. Leninists revised this theory by introducing the notion of a vanguard party to lead the proletarian revolution and to hold all political power after the revolution, "in the name of the workers" and with worker participation, in a transitional stage between capitalism and socialism.

  3. Student Definition Communism is like getting rid of anything that would make people unequal, like lower, middle, and upper classes. It’s trying to get everyone to be equal and nobody would really be in control of anyone else.

  4. Real World Examples There really aren’t any real world examples of the theory of communism because it is a theory. This theory was brought about by Karl Marx when he wrote his book “The Communist Manifesto” in1848. Karl Marx was a German philosopher, sociologist, economic historian, journalist, and revolutionary socialist who developed the theory of Marxism.
