Russian Revolution

Levi Farris­ Some socialists believe socialism could not be obtained without violent revolution. Communism is a different type of government. Communism is when wealth is shared equally amongst the country's people. A communist state is a state where the means of production are collectively owned by the society. It has a form of government characterized by single­party rule or dominant­party rule of a communist party a government where everybody sends all their crops, money, ect. to the government who then is supposed to distribute it evenly to everyone. Unfortunately, the idea of fairness was short lived, as many took this as a way to get into the government. They soon corrupted this once glorious system, got intensely strict with their citizens, throwing away freedom of press, freedom of speech, and sometimes freedom of religion.
Before the Russian Revolution of 1917 socialism and communism were just synonyms. Lenin determined that the best way to quell resistance was with what he frankly called “terror”—mass executions, slave labor, and starvation. After seeing that the majority of his countrymen opposed communism even after his military triumph, Lenin concluded that one­party dictatorship must continue until it enjoyed unshakeable popular support.
Communism affected Russian citizen allot. It affected them by the Russian government not doing what they say they are going to do The communist government owned the country's diverse economic assets, controlled the labor force and allocated all resources. It was a command economic system. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia experienced a wild privatization period where a small number of men gained control of Russia's greatest economic assets and made billions in the new market economy.
