History of Communism
Brief History of Communist Movement
Communism is a system of government in which it was first implemented by the Russian Vladimir Lenin. This was during the year 1917, which was after the Russian Revolution against their emperor and autocrat, Craz Nicholas II. He was also known as the last Emperor of Russia, Grand Duke of Finland and the so-called King of Poland, but however, his official social status was Nicholas II, Emperor and Autocrat of All the Russians. (For more information on Nicholas II, please visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_II_of_Russia). Lenin obtained the conception of the two German authors (Karl Marx and Frederich Engels) and he included his own ideology and principles, which was known as the "Marxism-Leninism". This led to communism being a well known force around the world. Although Karl Marx has clearly stated his definition and perspective on communism, over numerous years countless leader have diverge from the original concept of communism.
The greatest example of all time, that would be able to prove this would be when the Soviet Union was ruled under Josef Stalin. Rather than establishing a society where everyone is equally treated to one another or by one another.. He was successful in achieving and accomplishing a society where politics, such as himself would be at a higher standard than everyone else. Ultimately, his time came to an end with his death in March in the year 1953, however the Soviet Union continued until its disillusion in 1991.
