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.
<em>The Stamp Act</em>
Explanation:
The Stamp Act was passed in 1765 and was a tax that Great Britain put on the colonists. Paper products such as newspapers and legal documents now had this tax on them, which sometimes contained a seal or a stamp which proved the purchaser paid the tax on the product.
The colonists were not happy with the Stamp Act and they felt as if it was unfair that they were being taxed. They had nobody to vouch for them in the British Parliament, which is called "taxation without representation." They started to get angry and boycott the products that contained the tax, even sometimes becoming violent and harming British merchants.
On the other hand, Great Britain deemed its taxing to be fair. The French and Indian War was expensive and since it was fought on American soil, they believed the colonists should pitch in. They also said the tax was unfair because they were using their own soldiers to protect the colonists.
The colonists still did not agree with this. They were very strongly against the Stamp Act and even being taxed in general. This would eventually start to hurt British merchants and businesses, which made Great Britain realize this tax was doing more harm than good. They then repealed the Stamp Act in 1766.
