Communism: The Communist Manifesto By Karl Marx

Furthermore, while absolutism is a political ideology, communism is an economical ideology. Thus, absolutism is more similar to fascism than

Tocqueville provided an analysis of how citizens can prevent equality from evolving into a high degree of isolation. Tocqueville analyzed and compared America 's democratic society and Europe 's aristocratic society. In Europe, men remained in a fixed state and class; some men held greater influence and power over others. There was a formal social hierarchy where "a man almost always knows his

The idea that the people come first and the idea that people should rule the government and furthermore that the government was for all the people and not just the people in power. Communist and democrats also agree that they were against complete and total government authority and tried to remove the power of authority and that They were for a society where everyone was treated alike. Not everyone in a democratic environment would agree that democracy is fairly ran this way because of the minority- majority rule of thought, however the basis for both structures was supposed to establish the power to the people. It is safe to say that another definite similarity is the fact that the people of each denomination still question methods of the governmental controls and just how much power the people

Paine opposes this theory, suggesting that limitations ought to be placed on the government before they are imposed on the people. Thus, though they agree on the nature of man and the necessity of community, More and Paine would be hard-pressed to find common ground on the issue of

As previously stated, in the past a system of direct democracy was considered the ideal, with every citizen directly choosing what would we done. Furthermore, as Jean-Jacques stated: “the moment a people gives itself representatives, it is no longer free.” If we are to agree that this, a purely direct democracy, would create the best result, then one would conclude that any system with voting is a failure. However, this fully direct democracy would not seem to be feasible in the modern day. It would be difficult to organize all the citizens to take a full vote, especially when considering that this ‘ideal’ democracy did not include all citizens.

Social Darwinism was developed through the theories of evolution by Charles Darwin but Herbert Spencer, a sociologist, described the outcome of social groups. Social Darwinism does not trust the theory of equality of all human beings. They see it as certain human beings are superior to others, they believe only the strongest or fittest should survive and soar in society, and that the weak and unfit should be allowed to die. Darwinists disagree that governments should not intrude with human competition by attempting to control the economy or cure social issues such as poverty. Darwinists supported a laissez faire political and economic system.

Having to live under a tyrannical government that does not protect one’s rights is in no way better than having to compete with other people for survival. In competing with other people, at least everyone is on equal footing. However, when competing against a government, then there is a power imbalance and the government can use its power to oppress the people. Therefore, the people should have the right to rebel against such a government. Citizens should not be forced to live under a government that transgresses their

“The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains”. Karl Marx put his faith in the belief that the working class of Germany was bound to revolt against the bourgeoisie. Communism is theory is a political system where there is collective ownership of means of production. Although his theory was not executed in Germany, it was in Russia and later Cambodia. Communism in Russia began after the collapse of the Provisional Government.

In order to determine whose idea of government is to be agreed upon, the proper way is to take into consideration why there exist two completely different ideologies of government where both forms of government believe are born generally with good nature. Like stated above, Locke believes people are fitted with understanding ( Locke two treatises ex. 77) and are under the “ law of nature’ where no one would want to hurt anyone ( Locke two treatises ex.6) and similarly, Godwin believes that men are born naturally “benevolent to their fellows’. However, both of them agreed that there will be an irrational and a greedy side of humans. The difference in their ideologies is their perspective on human nature against time. Locke is firm on the idea of having a government because he sees no change in human nature and there will forever be a need for political authority to govern the people.

However, he generalizes people and puts everyone in a box. Not all people are selfish and seek power. With this in mind, I agree with Locke regarding his view of human nature. He says the majority of people are cooperative and seek to be loved, all the while acknowledging the existence of morally corrupt people, which is why we need a democratic government. I think this theory couldn't be more accurate.

The Industrial Workers of the World came into existence in 1905 was a revolutionary unionism known for its radical and militant approach. Its goal was to ensure that unity and completeness was afforded to both skilled and unskilled workers and not solidarity by occupation. Efficiency was not a concern of the union, for they took issue with the fact that the employers reaped monumental monetary gain, while the workers barely made enough to take care of themselves or their families. Its goal was to form one union, which would be opened to all workers, without any barriers. This was known as the “One Big Union.”

After reading the articles I can say that I disagree with Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau in that I do not believe that we consent to being governed. I agree with Kant, Hume, and Bentham more on this because I believe that consent is not the foundation of government, utility is. We are born wanting autonomy, to be in charge of ourselves, but we form government because it fills a need for societal control. We can not have an absolute democracy because we have class separation. I agree with Lenin on this subject, (go back to sociology book for Karl Marx and social conflict thorme).

They believed that because people are instinctively selfish, that people would have a hard time coexisting in a land where all people were supposed to be treated equal. Though the government was created to aid the people, it was also established to teach the people how to “live properly”. The fact that the constitution was written in the mindset that people needed to be, in a sense, controlled is was and remains a controversial topic. Many view the constitution’s favor for the rich, white, and male property owners was not so much of an “easier way to unify a nation” but more of a list of who it was going to be more desireable to govern. These facts aside, in order to instill equality to a newlywed nation, the people were given some basic human rights and the power to choose who was going to represent them in order to still make sure that the people were still the basis of the new government while still having control over them.

He wants the best for America. Some say having a socialist leader is the worst decision we can make. Bernie Sanders being a socialist means that he believes in having an equal form of government. So that not one has more power over the other and allows less conflict.

If things are shared and people are given what they need to thrive on then the possible outcome can be such, as that of Utopia, but such development will take a lot of time and effort to achieve. When comparing Utopia to The Communist Manifesto it makes the nation of utopia seem unattainable. The two nations are basically opposite of one another. One nation is filled with people that work together to achieve a goal that seems impossible and the other nation take advantage of their people in anyway possible so they can live a better life.
