Connection across time: Communism

Communism, alhough the United States tried to stop it years ago, it still exists today. Communism is a form of complete socialism in which the production of goods would be owned by the people. The people, meaning everyone. There is also absolutely no private property. Communism is thought to of been created by Karl Marx, after he wrote his book, Communist Manifesto. So, communism has been around for over a century. Today, communism doesn't exist in too many countries, becasue so many people find it so wrong. This is probably because most of the communist countries are controlled by an awful dictator, making the type of government seem so bad. But if it would of turned out the way that Karl Marx wanted it to, then it might not be so bad at all because everyone would be equal! Today, communism only exists in a select few countries. Some are: China, Cuba, Laos, North Korea, and Vietnam.
