Answer:

Communism is a system of government where all the property is public and the government owns and controls the manufacturing and transportation industries. People share equally from the benefits of labor and they receive the things they need from the government.

Communism in Current Times

The advent of modern day communism started during the Russian Civil War (1918-1922) when the Bolsheviks pulled all productive property such as factories, mines and railroads under government control. Russia and the Bolsheviks are part of history; but, communism lives on in many countries.

Communist Structure and Activities

In Cuba the hospitals, medical professionals, medicines and medical supplies are all under the control of the Cuban government.

In North Korea the farmland, workers and food distribution are all under the control of the North Korean government.

In China in the 1950s, Mao developed the "Great Leap Forward" which pushed farmers into communes, took their land and forced them into slave labor.

In China today the government controls a highly successful manufacturing industry which generates profits for the government through the export of electronics, toys and other consumer goods.

Communist Countries

China - Mao Zedong took control in China in 1949 and named China the People's Republic of China. At that point it became a communist country and is ruled by the Communist Party of China.

Cuba - Fidel Castro took over the government of Cuba with the revolution in 1959. It became totally communistic by 1961, is ruled by the Communist Party of Cuba and became close to the Soviet Union after 1961.

"A leader is best when people barely know he exists; when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselve

mr Goodwill [35]

Looking at a question, it's more of an opinion than a right or wrong answer?

Nevertheless, personally I agree with the quote. Instead of a sole ruler who wants to do everything himself and makes it known to people below his status, a good leader would be somewhat "among us". He does his job, and lets us do ours (not disturbing us), or in most cases, leading us instead of controlling us. This would be more productive and meaningful, and peoples' morale and teamwork is boosted.

What are the positive and negative effects of the Intercoastal Highway, which connects ports in Brazil and Peru? Write a paragra

LiRa [457]

The Intercoastal Highway in South America is a highway that connects the western and the eastern coast of the continent, running through the countries of Peru and Brazil. The big positive of this highway is that it is connecting the eastern and western part of the continent, enabling for easier transportation of goods, and easier movement of people, which is of great economic benefit for everyone involved. On the other hand, there are also negatives, with the two biggest being the destruction of lot of tropical rainforest, and deaths of animals. In order for this highway to be built, enormous amount of trees and other vegetation have been cut down, which is always a problem. Also, the wild animals are not used to a highway running through their habitat, so they do not know how to react, very often being run over by the vehicles passing through.
