Karl Marx


Spoiler :
It was predominately Karl Marx who influenced society and politics during the time of the Russian Revolution. Marx, along with Friedrich Engels came up with The Communist Manifesto. Marx said that there was a growing tension in the industrial society between the capitalist (factory owners) and the workers. The objective of the Communist was to overthrow the middle class, and to make the proletarians into a class. Marx, however said that in doing this there would be an increase in competition in the middle class, which consequently would lead to "commercial crises  due to workers wages. This would then lead to the capitalists being overthrown in a revolution. Marx believed the bourgeois class should be abolished. In doing so, it would put an end to exploitation of individuals and also get rid of hostility between classes. By the proletariat becoming a class and taking away all capital from the bourgeois it would: abolish the property in land, gain a progressive or graduated income tax, abolish all rights of inheritance, confiscate all property from emigrants and rebels, centralize all credit by the a national bank, and centralize communication by the hands of the state.

Communism



Spoiler :
The fall of communism can be linked to several reasons. Some of these reasons were internal while other were the results of outside influence. For a form of any type of government to work the people must support it, true a government can use force to make their populace submit to the will of the government as with China in Tiananmem Square. In that case, the government use armed military force to put down student demonstrator demanding for democracy reform. Meanwhile over in Eastern Europe the people are able to force a change of government. When communism first took hold in Russia, Lenin predicted that their system would produce a new socialist man, completely loyal to communism. However, the young folks that had spent their whole life under communist control that hated this form of government and were trying to escape to the west. This maybe credit to fact that folks behind the Iron Wall were able to see the advantages the people of the west had. Other internal problems facing the communist governments of Eastern Europe was the collapse of their economy. The arms race the Soviet Union had been involved in with NATO had bankrupted their economy. This in turn effect the people, when the economy started to collapse, the people started to lose their jobs, were not able to get the basic necessities from the local stores. In most cases when one form of government can not provide the basic needs for their people, than the people will look for a form of government that can provide for them. Than there is one aspect of human nature that Communist Party in the Soviet Union was not able to control and the desire of the people of Eastern Europe to be free of Soviet control. Before World War II, the countries that made up Eastern Europe had been independent countries able to decide their own fate. When the Soviet Union pushed out the forces of Nazi Germany, they install puppet governments that were loyal to the Soviet Union. Inspite of 40 plus years of control, the communist party was never able to kill the dream of the people to govern themselves and chose their own destiny. The other major cause for the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe was NATO. The United States and her NATO allies had engaged the Soviet Union in an arms race that lead to the collapse of the economy while at the same time containing the spread of communism and checking every move the Soviet Union made in their effort to spread communism to other parts of the world, except in Asia. Although communism has failed in Eastern Europe, likelihood of this happening in China is unlikely. The government of Communist China has so far maintain a tight control of her people and limited their exposure to the West. In addition to this control, the government has shown that it is not afraid to use military force on their own people to force the government will.

TANKS ARE FUCKING AWESOME



Spoiler :
Tanks in World War 2 were commonly used, especially compared to World War 1. The German Panzers were fucking beasts, they used them to literally roll over Poland, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and France and some of the Soviet Union.
Fun fact: The Allies managed to guess how many tanks the Germans had simply by looking at the serial number on some of the destroyed tanks.
But the German tanks actually weren't superior - their strategies were.

But Germany wasn't the only one who had a ton of tanks, so did the Soviet Union. In fact, the Soviet Union had more tanks than the rest of the world combined, both before the war started and after the war ended. But they were almost only foreign designed tanks, so there's that. None the less, the Soviet tanks were praised as the best tanks in the entire world.

Then there were the British who had two different types of tanks - Infantry Tanks and Cruiser Tanks. The Infantry Tanks were meant to support the infantry and generally wreak havoc on the enemies while Cruiser Tanks were meant to be manueverable and easy to split off from the rest of the group.

The United States had only few tanks prior to their entrance to World War 2. In fact, the 10th Armored divison didn't even have any tanks even after Pearl Harbor.
The United States eventually started getting quite a few tanks and sent them over to fight. The first ones were Light Tanks, which ended up being in use throughout the entire war.

France also had a very large tank force, and like the British they had two types - the Cavalry Tanks and Infantry Tanks. They were the same as the British tanks, the Cavalry Tanks being an equivelant to Cruiser Tanks
