• This is the symbol of
Communism – The
Hammer and the
Sickle
Hammer for the
Workers
Sickle for the
Peasants – the farm labourers

They wrote the ‘Communist
Manifesto’ in 1847. It’s a short book – but billions of people have read it….
This is Karl Marx, the
‘Father of Communism’.
People who believe in his ideas are called ‘Marxists’
This is his good friend,
Frederick Engels .

• Marx and Engels studied the history of the world’s economies.
• This means the way that power, industry and finance are controlled.
• They saw the way countries developed in stages.
Socialism
Capitalism
Feudalism
Communism
Explain these please!
Primitive
Communism

Primitive
Communism
This is how humans first lived together – in small tribes. Primitive means basic.
Communism means that everything was shared– food, jobs, belongings.
No one owned land. Eventually a group comes to power – this leads to Feudalism…

Primitive
Communism
Under feudalism, a king or emperor or chief becomes the ruler over all the people.
He gives land and privileges to ‘nobles’ who rule the people for him.
Feudalism
The people are kept uneducated and told that god chose the king to rule. The church helps the king this way.
As trade develops, some people get richer. This leads to
Capitalism…..

The business owners get richer while the workers do all the hard work.
Feudalism
Capitalism
Capitalism creates a huge workingclass of people who soon get angry at the way they are treated.
They eventually organize and demand changes.

In the Socialist revolution all the rulers – kings, churches, capitalists are eliminated.
The workers take control of the country to produce things for everyone.
Because nothing is made for profit, all people benefit from education and health.
Socialism
Capitalism These ideas spread across the world to create
Communism….

The remaining capitalists put up a bitter fight, but the will of the people will always win.
As everyone now works together, war is a thing of the past – armies are not needed.
Sharing means no police are needed.
Everything is provided by the people – so money becomes a thing of the past.
Socialism
Communism
All human activity goes towards benefiting each other.

• Censorship
• Against ethnic diversity
• Government controls propertyvery little if any, could own private property
• Individual doesn’t compete, in some ways lazy and does not need to strive for more
