Quick review
Under Communism, who overthrows who? What did Owen do? Why was Marx so important? What is Democratic Socialism? Why is this
what we call Canada?
Communism as a rebellion for Liberalism
We’ve seen how liberalism (Specifically Classical Liberalism) effected the workers (Proletariat).
Why would some people hang on to the ideas of Marx and want a move to communism?
Communism
An Ideology in which the oppressed workers must overthrow the oppressors.
Develop a classless society. Work for the common good. Collectivist. Public Property. Once people have control, government is
no longer needed.
Russian Revolution
By the 1800’s Russia was far less industrialized then the rest of Europe.
People farmed only what was needed to survive (Subsistence Farming).
Presents were poor and worked for rich landowners.
The Russian Czar had complete control over all aspects of Russian Life.

Review: Let’s talk about the revolution. What is the difference between Socialist and
Democratic Socialist.
Communism
The difference between Communism and Socialism is the idea of radical change as opposed to democratic change.
Different forms of communism have formed.
Marxism, Leninism, Stalinism, etc…
Marx Vs. Communism
Marx felt the idea of socialist utopia was best.
However, the communism we know in the 20th century got control with a strong government.
The most famous communist state
In the 1900’s and lasted until the 90’s. Russia’s movement led to the formation of
the Soviet Union. A Socialist State with different republics
under a common communist government.
Rise of Socialism
Russia was late to join the IR. Because of this is experienced a rush of
development. This led to incredibly wealthy upper class
and a massive income gap.
The Iskra (Spark)
The Russian people formed the SDLP. Socialist Democratic Liberal Party. This included Lenin and Stalin. The czar banned this party and exiled its
members.
Bloody Sunday
In 1905 people stormed the palace for bread and better working conditions.
They were met with czar guards and gun fire.
This led to massive strikes and eventually to the 1917 revolution.
Rise of Leninism
After the revolution Czar Nicholas II abdicated.
The new interim government soon had conflict due to continued effort in WW1 and lack of rights for peasants.
Lenin’s party, the Bolsheviks, soon had enough support to take power.
Lenin
Lenin and the party soon established a new government.
Based on Lenin’s understanding of Marxism.
Called Leninism.
Leninsim
the theory and practice of the dictatorship of the proletariat, led by a revolutionary vanguard party.
Theoretically, Leninism comprises the political and socialist economic theories of Vladimir Lenin.
Lenin
Imposed government condole of business, politics, and society.
Felt that revolution, even violence, was necessary in order to secure peace.
Many fought against Lenin so Lenin began the “Red Terror”.
Red Terror
the campaign of mass arrests and executions conducted by the Bolshevik government.
800 alleged enemies had been shot and another 6,229 imprisoned.
Casualties in the first two months were between 10,000 and 15,000
Civil War
Russia soon broke into a civil war between the Red Army and the White Army (supported by anti-communist countries).
Such as Canada and USA. By 1922, other countries joined Russia
and formed the USSR.
Effect on people
Land was given to people. Factories were given to workers. Equality.
Unless, he didn’t like you!
Famine
Lenin would use starvation, Poverty, and force to ensure that people followed him.
Most notable the Ukrainian Famine..
This came to an abrupt end with Stalin’s death in 1924 from a stroke.
