4. Left Wing Extremism
Note: I am an Leftist not a Centrist or Conservative
It seems that the Left is truly divided between the more moderate Social Democrats/Progressives and the Extreme Maoist, Leininst and Stalinist factions.
Why Extremist Governents Never Succeed:
There is no room for flexibilty and hard line party guidlines always trumph what is the plausble choice in a situation,
Being a Social Democrat myself I know from a balance point of view that many of the so called Communist Heroes were the worst muderers in History.
Karl Marx- While many of his ideas are now a little fantastic, he was making an expirement, I believe he would be a Social Democrat in our time
Lennin- I do not shower him with roses but it is my opinion he was the best of the revolutionaries. Allowing the free market to exist while insituting forms of Public Services
Stalin- Put a more extreme character of the U.S.S.R sending all opponents to Labour Camps
Mao- While first being succesful, I despise him due to his Great Leap Forward and the Culture Revolution
My favorite Politician of all time:
Frankiln Dealnor Rossevelt
32nd President of the United States 1933-1945
The New Deal was a near perfect ruling system, a newer version of these type of polices can be found of the New Labour Movement of the United Kingdom,
I think the person who wrote in another essay that CNBC CNN and MSNBC were not real New Organzations has a truly clouded version of reality.
MSNBC Talk show host Lawarnce O Donnel has even called himself a Socialist
It is possible that the recent events of this year will trigger the end of the American Regean Revoultion and hopefuly open up a new age of Progressivm and Socialism.
NOT ALL AMERICANS ARE BAD
NOT ALL AMERICANS POLITICANS ARE EVIL CAPTIALISTS
Half of the United States is a Liberal/ Proggresive Society if not Socialist
As for Bill Clintion and Don't Ask Don't Tell-
He was only trying to cater to the Center Right so America would not elect someone like

    Joseph Stalin Dbq Analysis

    Joseph Stalin established a modern totalitarian government in Soviet Russia. He is known as the “Man of Steel”. A totalitarianism is a type of government that takes total, centralized, state control over every aspect of public and private life of their people. His rule had changed the people of his empire in numerous ways. Stalin had total control over economic needs. According to document 6 “By 1940 Russia produced more pig iron than Germany, and far more than Britain or France. Numbers of cattle grew in the 1920s, but fell increasingly during the collectivization of agriculture after 1929, and by 1940 hardly exceeded the figure for 1920. Since 1940 the industrial development of the Soviet Union has been impressive, but agricultural production has continued to be plumiding”. The document illustrates how pig iron had significantly increased as a result of the “Five Year Plan”, however heavy industry led to expense of food supplies. This would cause limited production of consumer goods. It caused a step back because of the severe shortages of housing, food, clothing as well as other necessary goods. The Five Year Plan didn’t help much to excel their economic as Stalin hoped, it impacted by creating famine. Stalin rising to power promised an economic boom for Russia however, in that process many people suffered and died of starvation. According to document 5, “The purge began its last,…

    Western Democratic Socialism demonstrates to the world what a feasible, arguably successful form of socialism looks like. Conversely, the economic, political, and social challenges of Eastern European Socialism eventually led to the collapse of the Soviet Union under Gorbachev, demonstrating a form of socialism that proved incapable of being maintained. Some would say that the USSR was not an impactful form of socialism because it did not last into the 21st century. However, you cannot judge the impact of socialism based on how long that it lasted; instead, judgment of the impact can be based on what was accomplished while this form of socialism existed. In the time that the Soviet Union existed, the USSR was able to implement socialism and major changes were made. These two poles of socialism have sparked a debate about the advantages of socialism, as well as its possible obsolescence or viability. Due to this discussion, they are the most impactful forms of…

    Although Stalin was a progressive in the economic aspect that he implemented the First and Second Five-Year Plans, which developed industry in Russia, as well as in the social aspect that he put forth a new education system, Stalin more so portrayed elements of conservatism. Stalin’s social, economic, and political policies and actions that conserved parts of Lenin’s regime including the NKVD secret police that executed and exiled opposition to Stalin, slave labor in Gulag camps, the Great Purge which removed many members of the Communist Party and Red Army, and the continuation of Lenin’s New Economic Policy were more important than his progressive changes because they influenced his government the most.…

    Joseph Stalin brought all economic activity under government control. The government owned all businesses and distributed all resources. Wages were low and workers were forbidden to strike. He also brought agriculture under government control where the state set all prices and controlled access to farm supplies. Stalin’s Communist party used the secret police torture, and violent purges to ensure obedience. Citizens knew what would happen if they were disloyal. He used propaganda to elevate the communist system by making him a godlike figure. The government censored the press and decided which books where published. If the book violated government expectations the writer was put to trial.…

    The Power Struggle

    Stalin’s command would prove one of the goriest recorded in history. Famine and fear killed millions of people; in addition, millions more found themselves committed to imprisonment in the horrifying Siberian gulags (the punishing system of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics consisting of a network of labor camps). Subsequently, when the Soviet Union revealed crimes made by Stalin in the 1950s, the officials claimed that he had corrupted Leninism; he had betrayed Lenin’s initial vision of a communist utopia. However, these declarations contained little truth: while Lenin disregarded Stalin at the end of his life, Stalin endured a fairly faithful disciple of the Soviet Union’s founder. The terrors, assassinations and deprivations of the 1930s were purely served to build on and intensify what Lenin had initiated…

    Although that is the case, Stalin’s leadership demonstrated the death of freedom that individuals had. For instance, the state directed people on what they could and could not read, listen, or watch. The media was under the control of the state. This meant that the society was informed of only what had been approved. The press printed what it was advised to print; strict sanctions were imposed on those who sought to go against what the state wanted. For instance, labor camps were established to act as prisons for those who defied the state (Holloway, Naimark, & Dallin, 1996). In these camps, individuals were subjected to hard labor, and some nearly died following the torture that they were subjected to. This was Stalin’s way of making his people known that he was in leadership. His actions were contrary to what the concept of communism…
