One only needs to read "Animal Farm" (by George Orwell). On the surface it appears to be just another fairy tale with animals, but it's actually an allegory about the Communist Revolution. The various characters in the book represent real historical figures or organisational entities.

Global warming, the impact of technology on society, great works of literature, space exploration, psychology, comparing and contrasting cultures or religions, philosophy, the 'American Dream', animal testing, Shakespeare, fast food and how convenience has affected society, English vs. American authors, mental illness and how it should be treated, fair trade, corporations such as Wal-Mart and how they impact small business, World War II, terrorism and fear in society, nuclear weapons, North Korea... etc.\n\nJust pick anything that you can write a good thesis about and be able to research easily. :)

Give him a list of chores to do. Tell him if he doesn't do them, he gets paid anyway. Then ask him if he's going to do them. When he tell you no, tell him that's why communism doesn't work from an economic standpoint.\n\nThen lock him in his room for the rest of the week, censor his phone calls and television, and don't let any of his friends in to see him. Ask him if he liked it. When he says no, tell him that's why people flee Communist nations.\n\nWith any luck, he'll never ask anything about politics again.

I can spot a flaw in your question. You ask for answers from Communist countries. You should know that in communist countries the Internet and all media is state controlled by the party and you aren't allowed to say anything negative about Communism, Communists, the Party or the country or anything that isn't pro-communist. Internet is heavily controlled and what you post on the net will be read by someone of authority in the country and then they could be jailed. So how could you get any good answers from currently communist countries (that's if they even manage to use this website since its pretty much freedom of speech on here) that say anything except how wonderful communism is?\n\nI'll give you my opinion on communism though - it is an utterly disgusting, failed policy and will never ever be a good thing!

I think you're thinking of Daily Kos...a left wing moonbat wonderland filled with conspiracy theories and whackjob socialist ideas.  Enjoy and don't forget to wear your foil hat, comrade.

The Soviet Union was not true communism, it was a dictatorship with classes like rich and poor, I don't really see much difference then what we have here in America other then we get to vote our own poison.

You can do a project on the natural calamities happening in a particular place, the cause of the calamities and actions to be taken for that. It would be fun and you'll learn a lot.

The Real Social Impact of Stalin’s Rule over Russia.\n\nThe First Five Year Plan:\n\nBy squeezing profits out of the agricultural sector, heavy industrial production increased from 300-600 percent. \n\nBelieved rapid industrialization was the only way to preserve socialism. \n\nIndustrial labor force was created overnight as men and women were put at work.\n\nThe number of women in the industrial work force tripled in the decade after 1929.\n\nIndustrial production also increased between the years 1929-1932.\n\nStalin forced collectivization and confiscated land. By 1938, private land was almost eliminated. \n\nThe Second Five Year Plan:\n\nSucceeded in reducing the Soviet Union’s dependence on foreign imports (heavy industry, machinery, metal works)\n\nThe industrial development and collectivization brought growing urbanization to the country. \n\nComintern(Communist International):\n\nStalin wanted it to promote the unity of working classes everywhere and cooperate with existing worker organizations. \n\nIt must seek to sever the ties between Communist parties and social democratic parties. \n\nAs a result, socialism in Europe was badly split between communists and democratic socialists. (ruined the triumph of fascists movements; Germany.\n\nThe New Soviet Estate:\n\nStalin was committed to the liberation of women.\n\nTheir double burden became heavier during his reign. \n\nThey held full time jobs while doing household chores and taking care of the children.\n\nThe family was glorified as the mainstay of the socialist order.\n\nThe independence of women was challenged as a threat to Soviet productivity. \n\nMassive Loss of Human Life\n\nBecause of the collectivization, 25 million peasants suffered. At least 5 million peasants died between 1929 and 1932. Collectivization ripped apart village life, ruined families, and sent homeless peasants into exile. \n\nAbout 300,000 people were put to death. (engineers, managers, officers of the navy, etc.)\n\n7 million people were placed in labor camps. \n\nThey dealt a severe blow to the command of the army.\n\nIt also resulted in the shortage of qualified industrial personnel, therefore, slowing growth of industry.
