Both fascism and communism supported one-party governments in order to gain absolute power, which unfortunately resulted in negative changes for the people’s lives. The leaders were dictators of their time; Stalin was known to deny individual rights of business and property, while Hitler had total control over the state’s military forces. The ideology that both parties shared was the fact that their respective governments were directly influencing a certain sector of the citizens’ lives. Stalin did this by having a complete authority on all production and distribution of resources. Along with that, communism believed in public ownership, meaning the rights to private property were abolished. This affected citizens by not allowing them to make a profit off of their land and by disabling them from receiving the added benefits the land had to offer. The fascist party favored their military forces, and made sure it portrayed a courageous, disciplined, and strong image to the…
Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin were two of the most evil men in history, responsible for countless atrocities. They had many similarities as well. Both men committed genocide to further their political agenda, massively improved the militaries of their respective countries, had their own different groups of secret police and spies, and finally they were both tyrannical totalitarian dictators. Despite sharing many similarities, their government structure and political philosophies were very different. Adolf Hitler was a Fascist who believed in a highly centralized government with himself at the top of the pyramid. Joseph Stalin was a communist who believed in collectivism and instilling fear into his political opposition. Although there are…
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,…
Benito Mussolini and Josef Stalin seem to have ruled by the same principles but they were in fact very different. Mussolini believed in fascism, which is the belief that the well being of the nation was above all even if it meant the loss of the people's rights. Everything, like social labor unions were put under the states control. Stalin believed in communism, which is the idea of a society where all property was publicly owned and each person works and gets paid according to their abilities and needs. If something were created in the community, for the community, it would truthfully belong to the state. Mussolini also glorified war in Italy. He tried to return Italy to the glory of the Roman Empire. The Soviet Union's military did grow but that was seen as an economic aspect rather than a social aspect.…
In the period before 1941, Stalin was able to institute his economical policies of Collectivization and the 5-year plans. ‘Backwards was to be defeated and enslaved’. Russia had to make up for 100 years of lost time for fear of being consumed by the western world. Stalin, sole leader of the Bolsheviks by the late 1920’s, believed that Russia could modernize their Agricultural and Industrial sectors through his policies.…
Stalin launched his first Five-Year Plan in 1928 by setting up a command economy. The purpose of the Five-Year plan was to create a road map for Stalin’s great goals of industrialization and the development of the Soviet Unions (OI.) Specific goals were set in the areas of electricity, coal, oil, pig-iron, and steel (DOC 2.) The Five-Year plan resulted in strengthening the Soviet Unions economic position and turned it into a powerful industrial state. In an excerpt from The Land of the Soviets its stated, “The rate of industrial growth in the USSR considerably exceeded that of the capitalist countries.” (DOC 8.) This is proven in several charts showing the rapid growth in farming and industrialization (DOCS 2, 3, 4.) Stalin said, “To slow down would mean falling behind. And those who fall behind are beaten. But we do not want to be beaten! One feature of the old Russia was the continual beatings she suffered for falling behind, for her backwardness….” (DOC 1.) This momentum helped arouse Russian pride to motivate the people. Stalin’s method of motivation imposed the people to come together as one and get ahead in order to dodge falling behind or any kind of harm to their country (OI.)…
Stalin modernized the economy by setting up the Five-Year Plan. In document 1, Stalin’s speech uses manipulative tactics to convince the Russian people of his plans. Stalin was trying to push the people so Russia could be considered an advanced country. He wanted to make up the difference between the advanced countries and Russia in 10 years. He said, “Either we do it, or we shall all be crushed”. Stalin’s Five-Year Plans set advanced production goals for heavy industry and transportation. Contradictory changes Stalin made were to join on production in land by the collectivization policy. Document 4 shows how he plotted to do this by joining small peasant farms to feed Russia and eliminate the Kulaks who were wealthy farmers.…

Many similarities exist between German fascism, or Nazism, and Italian fascism. For example, both fascist movements were brought into power after facing very similar problems. One of the major problems that both countries encountered was a post-war economy teeming with instability. Germany's fragile economy was undermined by widespread unemployment, hyperinflation, and burdensome reparation payments, while Italy's economy was just as delicate. In addition, the Great Depression brought both countries even further into economic collapse. Another problem that brought about fascism in the two countries was post-war peace settlements, especially the Versailles Treaty. While the Germans were exasperated by the exorbitant reparation payments forced upon them by the Allies, the Italians felt betrayed by the peace settlements for denying them the territory and status they deserved. Another problem that the two countries faced was their dissatisfaction with their existing governments. Many Germans were disgruntled with the Weimar Republic for signing the humiliating Treat of Versailles, while many Italians were apprehensive of the chaos within their parliamentary regime. Lastly, widespread fear of revolutionary upheaval and the expropriations of a Communism system also caused many Germans and Italians to identify with fascism.…
Some people can have different opinions on communism and fascism. Communism is the proletariat. You have no social classes, no political movements, no economic ideology,and you don't even have any money. Also in communism there is no clear leader. Fascism often has one military leader. They are also head of government and could become a dictator. Also they tend to put the state ahead of the individual. Communism and Fascism are similar in a way because the leaders that were communist and the leaders that were fascist were basically doing the same thing just in a different way.…

In Europe around the 1940s, there were two major forms of government in the world, communism and fascism. The major nations that used these government forms include Germany, Italy and Russia. All said nations benefited very greatly from the use of these ideologies whereas both ideologies have many of the same principles and basically just as many opposing principles. The similarities and differences vary greatly in the fields of social and economic influences and the impact on religion throughout the areas. The basic principle of communism is that it depends on the government’s control of industry while Fascism is based on the pride of the society and on violence to create the ideal society through the eyes of the leader.…
. Fascism and Communism are two different forms of government that were very similar. Fascism is a 20th century form of nationalistic, militaristic, totalitarian dictatorship that seeks to create a feasible society through strict regimentation of national and individual lives. Communism is type of government in which there is no private property and the government controls the entire economy. Communism tries to satisfy the basic needs of society by sharing work and benefits. Both theories were dictatorships that at first were loved by the people and soon later hated by them.…
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born on January 27th, 1756; in Salzburg Austria. Born with the full name Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart, he quickly shortened it to Wolfgang Mozart by his early teenage years. His father, Leopold Mozart, was the assistant concert master in the Salzburg royal court. While his mother, Anna Maria Pertl, was born into a family of wealthy community leaders. His sister Maria Anna, was given the knick-name of “Nannerl”. By mimicking her playing on the harpiscord, Mozart developed a strong concept of chords, until he was also playing alongside of her. Mozart started playing the violin when he was four years old, and was composing his own music by his fifth birthday. When Mozart became six, and when his sister was eleven, Mozart’s father started on their “tours” across Europe to showcase the duo’s young prodigal talents in 1762. They stopped in Paris, London, The Hague, as well as Zurich. When Nannerl became of age to marry, Mozart obtained the shot that kick-started his career.…
In this essay, I will be exploring the needs of managing for diversity. As there are many different aspects of diversity, it would be challenging for organization to cope and foresee problematic issues that can arise from, based on their assumption of predictability and understandability of the problems, and finding the right solution to respond to the situations. The content will be based on 3 key discussion points supported with references – why understanding surface and deep level diversity is a good practice for manager, why is it important to manage for diversity in Singapore, and lastly the distinct characteristics of Singaporean employees that need to factor, compared to other expatriates.…
