Communism is a form of socialism, or according to Lenin, the first step toward true Communism. True Communism is the bel
ief in a classless society where private ownership is abolished. Along with this private ownership is removed, and all items belong to all members of the Communist party. Communism originated from Carl Marx and was later further developed after the Russian Revolution by Vladamir Lenin. Though the first true ideas were formed by Gracchus Babeus in the 18th century. Overall Communism is a political movement that strives to remove classes and reside in a stateless society that is basically structured on common ownership. In addition it relies on free access to articles of consumption. Communist structures are known to be very dull and gray, used to house groups of people. The term Comrade is also commonly incorporated with Communism due to the strong brother/sister like bonds it hopes to form between neighbors and all citizens alike. Vladamir Lenin once said "Цель социализма - коммунизм" which translates to "The goal of socialism is communism
". This concept states that communism if the supposedly "Utopian" outcome of socialism. The basic communist ideals eventually lead on to other political outlooks such as Hoxhasim, Anarchist Communism, and Stalinism. The ideals of Communism are commonly associated with Russia during the cold war, and the east Russo-occupied sector of the Berlin wall and Germany. The common emblem associated with Communism is a Star, the star represents five sharp edges displaying power and unbreakability. However other variants such as the Soviet flag of the 1960's to the 1990's displayed a hammer and sickle, this displayed manpower and efficiency. Communism is generally associated with a distopian world of sorts where there is no freedom what so ever, the atmosphere is bleak with no life or color, and everyone suffers in the world of monotony.
