Quote by: Matt W Which history book are you reading that in, exactly? Last I looked, Communism came about through the overthrow of dictatorships, in the main. Extremists replaced by extremists. :rolleyes: |
He's correct Matt. Socialism is the step prior to communism. That where the ideal of socialism originally came from:
so·cial·ism ( P ) Pronunciation Key (ssh-lzm)
n.
Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy.
The stage in Marxist-Leninist theory intermediate between capitalism and communism, in which collective ownership of the economy under the dictatorship of the proletariat has not yet been successfully achieved.
