Why The West Is Against Communism

 Origin

Communism is a political and economic system in which the state owns the means of production, but the citizens are allocated goods and services in a fair and equal manner. The term communism derives from the Latin word communis, which means "common". The communist manifesto was written in 1848 by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.


Brief history



The communist system of government started with the formation of the Soviet Union which started from 1917. During this period the country was led by Joseph Stalin who ruled the USSR from 1917 to 1953. Currently communism is still the system of government practiced in modern day Cuba, Vietnam Laos and China as well. The whole ideology was developed in the 19th century as a political and economic theory.



The real deal

The West has always been against communism, and has been consistently trying to stop communism from spreading. However, the West's opposition to communism is not quite as clear as it seems. The West's opposition to communism is not a straightforward opposition. It is a complex combination of economic, political, cultural, social, and religious factors. The West has always been against communism because it is a system that does not value individual rights. The West also believes that communism does not value the individual and that it is not a system that is founded on freedom. According to countries that practice communism, it is an ideology that focuses on equality and elimination of class distinctions and oppression. The West is against communism because communism is an anti-capitalist ideology.


The West believes that socialism will lead to communism, which is why they are against both. They also believes that communism is a very dangerous and uncontrolled economic system which may potentially dominate the entire world hence they kick against it.


It is general knowledge that the best and surest way to eradicate poverty from our societies is through the communist system of governance but the Western world have a different opinion.

Why did Russia attack Ukraine?

It's been five days since Russia invaded Ukraine, fighting has since been going on between soldiers of both countries. Major landmarks in major cities of Ukraine have been taken down, civilian structures destroyed and some civilians killed. The question most people seek to ask is; What actually called for this war?  The North Atlantic Threaty Organization, NATO, was formed after the second world war by the United States , Canada,  England, Germany, France and some other European countries just to mention a few. Their main aim was to unite and stop a Soviet Union which kept on growing and gaining more power in Asia and some parts of Europe. This made it clear that NATO members were outright enemies of the Soviet Union and vice versa.  Fast forward in April 1961 when the Nazis have already surrended after WWII, the United States invaded Cuba, a sovereign country.
