Communist Manifesto-
Karl Marx wrote communist manifesto in 1848. According to the Communist Manifesto, the people
who are fighting for communism can achieve it by working together and overthrowing the current
monarchy or the government, ruling party. There won’t be any discrimination in a communist
society between rich, Poor or religion caste according the communist manifesto. Free medics and
free education would be provided in a communist society. The practical implementation of
communism was seen in Russia in 1917

The Russian Revolution of 1917-


In Russia, communist workers overthrew their current monarch who used to be called “Czar” at the
time and their leader “Lenin" was the first one to implement communist ideology on a big scale
(Vladimir Lenin). The Women were introduced to education. For farming, the land was taken away
from rich landowners and redistributed amongst farmers. The factories were nationalized

According to the Karl Marx’s communist manifesto, means of production were owned by the public
and not any particular ruling party.

Lenin’s implemented communism was a little different from Karl Marx’s described communism.

To avoid criticism, Lenin banned all other political parties and declared the sub-continent, a “One
Party State” (DICTATORSHIP).

So, this Marxist-Leninist political structure is called soviet communism.

A famous polish-communist- Rosa Luxembourg who was strictly against soviet communism.

She used to support Liberal Marxism. She even used to protest against the soviet communism.

Later in 1924 Lenin died.

Then came joseph Stalin.

He made the union a superpower of the world. However, Stalin was responsible for
the deaths of millions of Soviet citizens. He was even on the list of the evilest people
who ever lived. Lenin believed in the development of the USSR but to Stalin, the
most important thing was to win the war and to keep him in power. Between July
1937 and November of 1938, he had over 8 lakhs (800,000) Russians
executed.1500 victims per day, One every 57 seconds. He killed millions of
Europeans as well. At the end of November 1938, on 24th of November 1938 Stalin
has attained absolute power He exterminated all his enemies, whether imagined or
real he had become the absolute leader of the great Soviet Union. This reign (1936-
38) is called the great Purge or the great terror (Stalin’s campaign to solidify his
absolute power over the party and the state). During his reign, there was no
economic or social development of the union. But still, he was the only one who
defeated Hitler in WW2 and end his terror of him. He died in 1953.
