Get the Communism mug.Noun
Pronounced: Kom-yoo-niz-um
Plural: N/A
Pronounced: N/A
Definition:
Communism is an economic theory created by Karl Marx. The theory states to abolish all private property, and make workers the most powerful people in society and giving them less hours. The people get benefits for being workers. Money and class under true Communism does not exist. To show how it would work (In theory, mind you.), go play some Minecraft with friends. Proceed to try to survive in Hardcore mode. It is more than likely that you would share everything in order to be more happy and not die. It bases off of class war/struggle.
Communism only works in theory, however. Capitalism, the opposite of Communism, bases off of a "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours." theory. If you want an apple pie, but you can't make them. Only Bob, but you're the only one who can weave clothing, then Capitalism would allow you to give Bob a piece of clothing while he gives you the pie. This is how Capitalism works. Communism says that Bob will make nothing but apple pies, all day every day, and you should make clothes all day every day. Then you give all of your products to the government and then the government redistributes them. Capitalism just leads to improvement where Communism leads to stagnation.

Get the Communism mug.
An ideology purported by Karl Marx in the 19th century.
Karl Marx's "utopia" is often misunderstood by today's supporters of socialism.
Karl Marx posited that the workers must overthrow their oppressors, but he goes on to argue that those workers would in turn become the oppressors.
In other words, it's an endless cycle of violence, and that notion is called "Marxist History". The idea that all of human history has been a class struggle is held by many Marxist historians, and Marx himself, and just because some dirty workers overthrow a company doesn't mean utopia will magically occur.
