The empires of Ghana, Mali and Songhai were located in areas that were conducive to the development of great empires. These empires covered a large extension of land with very different weather and ecosystems, including the Sahara desert and the thick jungles south of the Niger River.

Communism is special, for, as on paper, it gives everyone equal power, and everyone is 'the same'. However, in real life, it is far from it. While every citizen is "equal" (meaning they receive all the same benefits, problems, etc., the power really is given to the government, who controls the people. This could generally lead to the government changing into a Dictatorship, and that the people have little power to overcome.
