What is Communism? Primitive Communism

What is Communism? Under feudalism, a king or emperor or chief becomes the ruler over all the people. Feudalism Primitive Communism The people are kept uneducated and told that god chose the king to rule. The church helps the king this way. He gives land privileges to ‘nobles’ who rule the people for him. As trade develops, some people get richer. This leads to Capitalism…. .

What is Communism? The business owners or capitalists get richer while the workers do all the hard work. The capitalists get more power to serve their own interests. Capitalism Feudalism Capitalism creates a huge workingclass of people who soon get angry at the way they are treated. They organise in unions and demand changes. This will lead to a revolution and Socialism…

What is Communism? The workers take control of the country to produce things for everyone. Because nothing is made for profit, all people benefit from education and health. Socialism Capitalism In the Socialist revolution all the rulers – kings, churches, capitalists are got rid of. These ideas spread across the world to create Communism….

What is Communism? The remaining capitalists put up a bitter fight, but the will of the people will always win. Communism Socialism As everyone now works together, war is a thing of the past – armies are not needed. Sharing means no police are needed. Everything is provided by the people – so money becomes a thing of the past. All human activity goes towards benefiting each other – allowing all to live their lives to the full.
