Comparing Capitalism And Communism

Capitalism and communism have always shared differences as ideologies in history and, both of them

have had extensive success over the course of the twentieth century, however the causes of success in

the communist ideology are not always as well-earned as they are described by history.

Communism started off of rage and popular dissatisfaction from a monarquic empire in the early 1900’s

and promised to solve the problems of the population like hunger and living conditions and evolved to

become a long lasting transitional government with much success for their leaders but in reality people

lived working their whole lives without little to no improvement to themselves or their families in

contrast to capitalism which was made what it

is today because of decades of evolution from agrarian
capitalism to mercantilism and industrial capitalism making it a successful and fair way to offer quality of
life. Communist government’s way of supplying the economy is by owning the majority if not all aspects
of production and decides the way these resources are distributed moreover the government is
centralistic which means it grants all law-making permissions and governmental power only to the
capital of the country leaving the other states without self-judgement of their own economy and
infrastructure creating a state in which everything is controlled by a few government officials
contradicting what communism is all about in the first place.

Communist governments throughout history have also been very reserved and do not have the best
international relations, and human rights within communist countries are violated on a regular basis
without organizations like the UN or Human Right Watch to be able to offer aid against these horrible
acts, in addition intelligence agencies within these countries are corrupt and harass their citizens for
security measures and control over the population; on the other hand capitalist countries who are often
under a democratic system, have measures to avoid this kinds of acts and respond for the well-being of
their population offering services in a wide range of selection as well as the laws that conform each
state independently which are abided by citizens and government agencies.
By observing the differences in these both successful, but different ideologies it does not take long to realize that the success of a country should not be based in lies oppression and control and should be more about taking action respecting the law and freedom.
