A system of government that is, for all intents and purposes, is fascism in disguise. Like fascists, Communist governments are marked by centralization of authority under a dictator (Joseph Stalin and Kim Jong Il), suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship (Joseph Stalin took over countries and removed leaders he deemed "disloyal"), and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism (No racism, but there sure is nationalism). The equality thing for all is one of the biggest coverups in history.
Without Communism, Joseph Stalin wouldn't have killed 10 million people, nuclear weapons wouldn't be nearly as advanced or dangerous (cold war), no Berlin Wall, no Vietnam or Korean wars, no North Koreans working in factories for $3 a month, etc.

A form of socialism; it is the final phase of revolutionary change in an industrialized country, where workers rebel and inevitably install a socialist government.
Many countries have undertaken the doctrine of Karl Marx's theory of communism, but those countries took long enough to realize that communism just simply doesn't work. Communism is actually not very people-based, and one important thing to mention is that communist nations are run by dictators and only dictators.
America and communism don't mix because America's founding principles are based on individual freedom, privacy, and other non-intrusive elements that socialism contrasts. And communist nations have a history of being run via civil oppression.

Works in real life just like it does on paper (like shit).

Communism as a theory is simply a plan for dictatorship.
That's exactly what it says on paper.That's exactly what it delivers.It is a plan to destroy the middle class so that there is only the haves and the have nots.Then everybody is forced to be atheists (see church and state ).

A politcial theory where every person in a society is equal, given all life needs (food, shelter, ect.) equally, and where there is no central governing body or group opf people (hard to have everyone be equal with a few leaders telling the masses what to do).
In theory, the most utopian and 'perfect' of the 3 major social forms.
In practice, can never effectivly happen in practice mainly because tghe average human being needs and desires asome sort of governing structure, whether it be very strict (See facisim ) or very loosly (See anarchist) applied.
This structure tend to fall into a more Socialist social order when applied in the real world. Eventhough the orgionators fo this social order said this structure would be best suited for the large Capitolistic nations of their era (England, USA, ect.), the most noted use of this system was inside the Former Soviet Union and the Peoples Repulic of China.
The Soviet system, though lasting over 7 decades, ended with the country ditching the One Party system for a more Democratic based model after the country practically became bankrupt in 1989. China has grown more Socialist since it's conversion to the Commuinst structure in 1947, mainly do to their laxing, however small, of certain 'communist' ideals for more democratic princliples (such as individualism and ownership of property).

An economic system based on the principal that no matter where you work or what your working for, you are still making the same amount of money as everyone else. Probably the most theoretical economic system, but always falls apart when put into practice. This is because the leaders are corrupt, militaristic dictators.
