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.
