Socialism in the Twenty First Century

Many researchers of the socialism campaign of the 21st century prefer to treat the word “socialism” as a misnomer.

This paper takes only as broad overview of the topic, highlighting the major aspects without delving to the possible in depth analysis that could have been possible in a work of lesser scope. This paper has been prepared keeping this intention in mind.

Business:

The government is expected to respond and come to the aid of the people in case any disaster strikes. This is usually done depending on the economic system that the country has adopted. When disasters strike regardless of the magnitude, the first people to respond are the emergency services. Depending on the intensity of the disaster the country makes the decision on whether or not to engage the help of other countries. The most preferred economic system that is most suitable for handling different crisis with regard to their epic proportion is the mixed economic system (Powell, 2007).

Russian and Cuban Communism

Communism is a political and social movement that aims for a classless state where the means of production is owned jointly by the society.

The application varies though in various countries. Russian Communism is better than Cuban Communism because limited political pluralism exists in Russia. The political pluralism though limited in Russia can lead to further reforms in the future where the people will elect the political party that ...

Since the ancient times, it is visible that there is always a gap between societies that often divides them into two or more distinct groups. There are countries that have more political and economic capability than other countries, while there are countries that are better in social stability. In terms of people, they are mostly divided through their financial capability, educational attainment and upbringing, which would then determine as to whether or not they can keep up with the modern world. As far as technology is concerned, people are yet again divided over their capacity to know and afford these ...

The countries that were defeated in the World War I, and especially Germany, had additional reasons for the rise of fascism. One of them was a sense of humiliation experienced by the nation due to payment of reparations to victorious countries for the damage caused, which in official propaganda and in everyday life was regarded as the greatest shame of the German nation, which could be cleaned only by a new blood. Fascist leaders successfully used this moment and deliberately fueled the revanchist sentiment. In Germany, which suffered from the crisis stronger than other countries, intensified the revolutionary movement. As a result, ...

Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle

Upton Sinclair’s 1906 novel, The Jungle, covers numerous subjects centered on life in Chicago, focusing on the corruption and collusion rampant during those years between industries such as the meatpackers, the politicians, and criminal underground.

Abstract:

Communism has been a sworn enemy to many fascist regimes, especially Hitler's, Mussolini's and Franco's despite many arguing that they are somewhat related to each other. From the word "communisme", communism advocates for equal class structure and control over the problem of poverty. Meanwhile, fascism came from the word "fascio" and advocates the creation of a nation that runs similar to a corporate setup. However, their belief regarding the state eliminates all form of similarity: communism denies the state while fascism bows to the state as its supreme entity. There is also the case of their political spectrum as fascism incorporates both ...

The relationship between rich and poor, and the examination of class issues, in literature and art is always a fascinating proposition. Many works, through their structuring, messaging plot and characters, can be read through a Marxist lens – namely, the literary perspective which aligns with the philosophies and teachings of socialist writer and thinker Karl Marx. In Marxist criticism, works are viewed as lenses through which to view the sociopolitical worlds in which they were created (or are being viewed) (Eagleton, 1976). Art is political, particularly in a Marxist lens, and the works The Kite Runner and King Lear are no exception. Both ...
