Poverty was widespread in America.

Away from the nation's affluent suburbs was another country, one inhabited by the poor, the ill-fed, the ill-housed, and the ill-educated. This was the assertion made by author Michael Harrington in his 1962 book, <em>The Other America: Poverty in the United States.</em> Harrington's book had an impact on the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. President Johnson's "Great Society" plans aimed to address the problems of poverty in America.

The book was a study of poverty in the United States, published in 1962 by Macmillan. It found a small but emerging audience in an America that was developing a greater self-awareness after the struggles of World War II and the Korean War.

compare and contrast lenin's idealistic vision of a socialist state with the reality of communism in the new soviet union

allsm [11]

Lenin was a Marxist, as were his successors. He had a vision of making the Soviet Union a country where everyone will be equal, earning the same amount of money, everything will be available to everyone, the country to be self-sustainable. While this may seem as a nice idea, in practice in turned the total opposite. The Soviet Union became one huge concentration camp where around 30 million people lost their lives because they had another political opinion, belong to certain ethnic group, and were people that had it better and succeeded in life. The people were poor, often suffering from malnutrition because of the misjudged planning of the high officials. The economy was not in good condition and was developing very slowly. The country was ruled by a dictator that used violence in order to sort all the problems.
