Communism

In my opinion communism is a good idea carried out very poorly. For the idea to truly work a government body must be truly pure. There can be no corruption in the government or else a dictatorship emerges and absolute power corrupts absolutely.  Countless examples of this have emerged such as the Soviet Union leader Stalin who killed an estimated 51 million over the 40 years of his reign. Cuba has and still does have large poverty rates due to the rule of Fidel Castro. Not since Cuba has embraced a more democratic system have they started recovering. Even China, the world’s second largest economy, has a large amount of corruption. Incidents like Tiananmen Square prove the governments’ wants absolute control over their people and what they want them to do or think. Communism is supposed to give power and equality to the people while all it ends up doing is government all the power to the government and taking away the rights of the people.
