Communism

"Communism has sometimes succeeded as a scavenger, but never as a leader. It has never come to power in a country that was not disrupted by war or corruption, or both."

- John F. Kennedy, 1963

Communism is a far-left range of economic and social systems characterized by social ownership of the means of production and worker's self-management, as well as the political theories and movements associated with them. This political idea has been one of the most influential through the 20th and 21st centuries, particularly during the Cold War during the height of the Soviet Union's power. Though not as common as they were during the Cold War, communist/socialist regimes still exist in the world.

It is considered to be a flawed and quite dangerous form of government. Many places where this system is tried ends with the country ending up in shambles, with no economy, limited food and water, and corrupt officials, many socialist countries are very dangerous.

Many of these countries have fallen apart after years of this practice.
