what theory states that if one country becomes communist neighbor countries will follow?

I believe it is the domino theory. It states that if a non-communist government falls in a region, then a communist one will come in to replace it. The policy of the United States against the domino theory was the policy of containment, which meant to push Communism out of anywhere it tried to expand.

You mean communism?  If so it was practiced in Soviet Union(Russia) and in its satalite countries(mostly Eastern Europe nations controlled by the Soviets), but spread into Vietnam and China where it still is today.

The system was doomed. Even without the cold war, it would eventually have failed. True communism means "Anthill Society", kind of a wrong species model of government. Humans are not communal bugs.

It may never get there.  There is a good chance China could become 2 or 3 countries over the next 30 years.  If it does become the world's most powerful country it is likely to follow the example of the UK and US and retain that position for approx 100 to 150 years.

The following is a list of current communist countries\n\n\nChina\n\nCuba\n\nLaos\n\nNorth Korea\n\nVietnam\n\nA Communist state is a state governed by a single political party which declares its allegiance to the principles of Marxism-Leninism.\n\nThe leaders of Communist states have generally referred to them as socialist states, as in communist political theory "communism" is defined as a classless, egalitarian, and stateless society, and socialism is a transitional phase implemented by the governing Communist Party.

1.  a buffer zone for the core state - Tibet provides the buffer with India; Mongolia provides the buffer with much of Russia - relatively weak neighbors (Laos, for example) provide part of the buffer\n\n2.  all Chinese under one rule (includes Taiwan) - and international respect for the One China policy\n\n3.  trade surplus\n\n4.  leadership of the third world - friendship with African nations is part of this\n\n5.  respect from other nations and cultures (US, Japan) - includes Japanese admission of guilt for WWII actions

Communism is extreme socialism. Marx's idea was to conquer the world for the deserving people (the workers).  This was a truly terrifying prospect for anyone with any brains and gave rise to the fascist alternative socialist system, which was national rather than international.  This system worked miraculously well in Italy and Germany, while the pure Marxist system seems to have been a bust everywhere.\nIn China the Communist Party has realised this and specifically and unequivocally announced that it will pursue a policy of "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics".   In a big country like China, where not everyone is Han Chinese, this can only be expressed as National Socialism.   Does anyone have the cheek to argue with me?

America emerged as a single superpower giving rise to unipolar political world.\n\nThose fighters trained and armed by America for War against USSR were free and they turned their energies against America.\n\nEurope and China emerged more strongly on economic fronts as opposing poles to this new unipolar world.\n\nClash of Civilisation (between West & Islam) saw new dimensions with clash of ideologies

I dont think so,\nDomino theory was at first about communism in south east Asia where US declared that It would be like domino theory, if one country fall in communism then all do, and we should do what we can to prevent(not exactly the point)\nGreater middle east as far as I know is the name of a project proposed by US and EU to made some kind of co operation between Arab countries of MIddle east and North Africa.\nSo how should we relate these facts? maybe you mean US try to conquer all of anti greater middle east countries?\nI think it is better to make a small greater middle east with other countries and then try to persuade or conquer others.

Is Communism a threat, no.  Are countries that are led by Communist Parties a threat.  Yes.  Nobody can deny that there have been seroius threats to world security by countries that rally behind a banner of Communism.  Even though the Communist societies do not really in many respects reflect the Ideals of Karl Marx.  Think of a Communist country that has a decent standard of living and looked after it's own people.  Now try think of one that didn't.\n\nI do not believe that a country that has a long track record of violating the human rights of their own citizens and filtering and in some cases deleting information and freedom of expression can really be trusted.  Say what you like about America, but the most basic of freedoms enjoyed in America are like heaven to the average peasant in China.  \n\nAlso have a look at the foreign policy initiatives.  They are along with Russia one of two Permanent Security council members who are making a united concensus difficult in the UN with regards to Iran.  In addition to this they are supporting corrupt reigemes in Africa just when the world was begining to get a stomach about dealing with these broken states.  Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe refered to China a "close friend and ally"\n\nNeither one of these societies is perfect, however in this case it is a choice between the lesser of two evils.  And the US wins that by a long shot.  Maybe Communism isn't a threat, but the countries who claim to be Communist certainly are.

Communism is a political ideology that seeks to establish a future classless, stateless social organization based upon common ownership of the means of production. It can be classified as a branch of the broader socialist movement. Communism also refers to a variety of political movements which claim the establishment of such a social organization as their ultimate goal.\n\nAmerica is scared becuase golbally capitalism is on the decline and they see Latin america becoming more and more close to Communist values.
