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.

Many internees at Manzanar objected to anyone who chose to work for the government by making war materials. Which statement most

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

They believed that internees should not help in the war effort because the internment of the Japanese was unjust.

Explanation:

With the attack on Pearl Harbor during the Second World War, the war in America began to form internally. The Axis powers in which japan was a part of in conflict with the Allied Powers, which included the United States. And as such, action was taken against the Japanese- Americans living/ settling in America.

As it was the Axis powers (Japan) that attacked an American military base, the United States' government began to order the internment of its Japanese-American citizens just because of their physical connection to the enemy. With the attack deemed as a huge threat to the national security of America, every Japanese descent American was ordered to move to the internment camps, leading to a massive round-up. Though it was never a case of trying to 'punish' them for what their home country had done to their adopted country, it was evident that the move was to 'isolate' any Japanese man and restrict any chance of an 'informer' or 'secret agent'.

So, in protest to this order, the internees objected to anyone who chose to work for the US government because the internment was an unjust and unfair act in itself to the Japanese people.
