Answer:

There were a lot of reasons which caused the fall of the Roman empire. The major problems were corruption and bribe at the state level, weaken army, political instability, Christianity the religion.

Explanation:

Corruption:

Because of corruption and political instability, Roman's economy was weakening. They had to buy expensive items from the East as they had well trade with them, but now the economy had fallen and they had nothing to exchange with them, administration started making new silver coins which led to inflation, prices rose and Germanic tribes disordered the flow of trade, especially in West The western half of the empire had a large trade deficit with the eastern half. The west purchased luxury goods from the east but had nothing to offer in exchange. To make up for the lack of money, the government began producing more coins with less silver content. This led to inflation. Finally, piracy and attacks from Germanic tribes disrupted the flow of trade, especially in the west.

Political Instability:

The civil war accelerated the empire into anarchy, and more than 20 men considered the dominion to the extent of only 75 years, normally after the killing of their ancestors. The Praetorian Guard, the emperor's personal guard slaughtered and established new monarchs at wish. The political corruption also spread to the Roman Senate, which worsened to anger the surpluses of the rulers due to its own unlimited rottenness and inability. In this situation, Romans lost their trust in their emperors.

Christianity:

Christianity replaced the polytheistic Roman faith, which saw the emperor as owning a sacred rank and diverted focus from the glory of State and above the only goddess.

Weaken Army:

Roman Empire had stretched from the Atlantic Ocean to the Euphrates River located in the Middle East. With such a large administrative land, the emperors faced a lot of administrative hurdles and logistic issues. Although they had a very strong and excellent road, they had failed to have effective communication with each other. They tried to hire more troops in their army to face the local rebels and outside attacks. But due to a lack of money, they were unable to hire professionals. In the second century emperor, Hadrian was compelled to the built wall in Britain to keep the enemy at bay.

How is the communism of the Cuba similar to Marx’s ideas? How is it different from them?
joja [24]

Answer:

In the first place, it must be said that despite his immense intellectual contributions and his deep analysis of 19th century capitalism, Charles Marx didn´t leave any book or writing outlining how a communist society would look like. He only wrote once that in communism, every person will go from receiving according to their capacity to receiving according to their needs. This is a very vague idea. So, is Cuba true to Marx? It´s hard to say. Paramount leader Fidel Castro built a Communist Party and a communist state following the Soviet model. In orthodox Marxist practice, the government is the dictatorship of the proletariat, of the workers. What we have actually seen in Cuba is a dictatorship of Fidel Castro and his brother Raúl Castro, in which they and a small elite of top party, state and military officials hold power exclusively.

Prosperity in Cuba? Definitely no. The Cuban experiment is a failure after 60 years of communist rule; the Cuban economy is not dynamic, it is dominated by the higly ineffective state-run mammoths, many Cubans live in nearly-poverty, food rationing continues, it is tecnologically backward. No democratic freedoms. Most young people want to emigrate and settle in the US or elsewhere. The traditional Soviet-like economic model, a command economy, is a system that can´t create wealth and can´t lead to prosperity because its ideological foundations are wrong; only an economy based on a free-market and private enterprise can generate and sustain wealth. The American embargo is usually blamed by Cuban leader as the main reason for this situation, but Cuba can import technology from other countries, trade with them and get investments. So, why does it continue to lag behind?
