Communism

Communism is a sociopolitical, philosophical, and economic ideology aiming to create a society where common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange allocates products based on need. It seeks to abolish private property and social classes, and ultimately the state and money. Communists often disagree on the means to achieve self-governance, with some advocating for voluntary statelessness and others for authoritarian vanguardism. Variants of communism include anarchist communism, Marxist schools of thought, and religious communism, all of which share a common analysis of the exploitative relationship between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. This analysis leads to the conclusion that a communist revolution is necessary to establish common ownership and create a communist mode of production. Modern communism emerged in 18th-century France, and in the 20th century, several Communist governments came into power, with around one-third of the world's population living under Communist governments during most of the century.learn more on wikipedia
