In the Communist Manifesto, he (with Friederich Engels) writes:\n\n"The history of all hitherto existing societies is the history\nof class struggles."\n\nSo, in answer - the role of class struggle in history is history itself. All of history is that of class struggles.\n\nSays Marx.

First of all, Communism has never truly been achieved.  Communism is Karl Marx's idea on how to control the masses which he wrote about in his book "Communist Manifesto".  It involves everybody working for everybody, no religion, and an overall unified society.  Socialism is what was seen in the Former Soviet Union, in China now.  It involves ideas of everybody working for the whole, but is a very far cry from Communism.  To Compare to the United States: liberals and extreme leftists are socialists.

Communism had no middle class and capitalists because all are treated equal.  Only the leaders are enjoying and most of the people are simply workers and laborers receiving only basic items for a living.

Fair trade capitalist.  Extreme right, I hate any form of marxism.  I believe a man should be judge by who he is not his hide.  I believe that the solution for the problems of this world is found in the bible.  Public education is a waste of money, due to the literacy rate and no basic understanding of economics.\n\nHaving this as a basis, the world will end one day, not worried about it, because of the laws of nature, namely entropy.  The hatred for Israel and Christianity will continue to grow. \n\nNothing will change we have always had storms and always will.  We will always have wars, because man is basically selfish

Marx's conflict thoery is a fun one.  Or Durkheim's on solidarity.  George Ritzer is a great source to start with.

Seems you`re fixed on Russia.\nBut to understand the meaning of DICTATORSHIP OF THE PROLETARIAT you have to read Karl Marx.\nYou will see that till now in no country there has been a\ndictatorship of the proletariat. It is a utopia.

Industrial revolution led to capitalism and bourgeois society.  New class of Working people were getting developed. This contradiction led to many revolutionary activities and in the course idea of socialism and communism were born like a natural event.

Marx is observing that we as humans seem to make the same mistakes over and over again.  The first time we repeat itself, it is a tragedy, since we are stupidly repeating our mistakes.  The next time the mistake is repeated, it's almost a comedy of bad errors from a neutral perspective.  How could we do the same stupid thing again?\n\nHow it fits into dialectical materialism is this:  Marx observed that time and time again the Proletariat would work against it's own interests by supporting revolutions of the Bourgeois to replace the Aristocracy, only to find the Bourgeois becoming the new Aristocracy rather than actually fulfilling the needs of the Proletariat.  So the Proletariat kept making the same mistake over and over (helping the Bourgeois rather than seizing the mantle of power for itself).

he felt bad for the miserable poor that he saw during the industrial revolution, and he believed that there shouldn't be poor people and every one should be equal. because workers are victims of greedy bosses. he believed in order to keep a perfect society and economy, everything should be planned by the government and that the government shouldn't rely on the free market.  the government having the power and wealth, will eliminate poverty and unemployment, and provide social and economic equality to all. he also had a friend that helped him with the book "financially" Karl Marx was kind of not that wealthy.

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.

Karl Heinrich Marx (May 5, 1818, Trier, Germany – March 14, 1883, London) was an immensely influential German philosopher, political economist, and socialist revolutionary. While Marx addressed a wide range of issues, he is most famous for his analysis of history in terms of class struggles, summed up in the opening line of the introduction to the Communist Manifesto: "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles."\n\nAlong with Engels, Marx took part in the political and philosophical struggle of his times, writing the Communist Manifesto a year before the Revolutions of 1848. Marx had broke with his university environment, German Idealism and the Young Hegelians, and took part in the debates of the European workers' movement, in particular in relation with the First International founded in 1864. He published the first tome of Das Kapital in 1867, a few years before the 1871 Paris Commune. The influence of his ideas, already popular during his life, was given added impetus by the victory of the Russian Bolsheviks in the 1917 October Revolution, and there are few parts of the world which were not significantly touched by Marxian ideas in the course of the twentieth century. The relation of Marx's own thought to the popular "Marxist" interpretations of it during this period is a point of controversy; he himself once said that "the only thing [he] knew was that he wasn't Marxist". While Marx's ideas have declined somewhat in popularity, particularly with the decline of Marxism in Russia, they are still very influential today, both in academic circles, and in political practice, and Marxism continues to be the official ideology of some Communist states and political movements.\n\nhere is more about him @ wikipedia\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Marx

You will have to research Marxist history, Do not focus ont the revolts of 1848 in Europe, Focus on The Paris Commune of 1872, The Revolt of 1905 in Russia, and The Bolshevik revolt. I believe it originated in the Paris Commune. The other two revolts will tie in Vladimir Illich Ulaynov.(Lenin)

Communism:  From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs. \n\nMarx (and Engels) based this on a class system divided into the beugiose  (boo-sua-zee) and the proletariat. It was called a "dictatorship of the elite".  The former being less than 10% of the poplulation with more than 90% of the wealth, the latter 90% of the population a poor, uneducated, working class which they called a "system of wives in common".  The Soviet Union was the first great experiment here and you see what happened.  Mao was closer to this model in theory the Soviets more Socialist.  Both based thier systems on the model from the Communist Manifesto.  BTW, Marx and Engles lived in england and Engles came from a very wealth industrial family. \n\nFacism: Not even close.  Read about Moussilini (El Deuc'e) and Hitler.

Believe me, you could go to some of the Socialist-Communist websites and watch them debate this. But you would probably kill yourself before your figured out the answer.\n\nSince it involves a complex economic and political philosophy, there is no simple answer. But the following is a pretty good examination of the central themes of Marxism:\nhttp://www.marxist.com/Theory/what_is_marxism.html\n\nStalinism: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalinism\n\nHere is a lengthy article on Stalinism vs. Leninism:\nhttp://www.marxist.com/Theory/celia_hart_controversy.html
