Informative Speech About Communism

830 Words4 Pages

Communist is a bad word. It is a demeaning term. To be called a “commie” is to be called “despicable”, “nasty”, and flat-out “wrong”. To be fair, communism has had a bad run in the world. Often it was used in the wrong way by bad people looking to better themselves rather than the world. However, true communism is not bad. It is good, very good! It could fix the economy, equate races, social-statuses, and genders, and suffocate violence and crimes. This of course would only come with the use of true, perfect communism. Many say this is not possible, however, we can look to the Bible and see that it is. God instructs communism and with Him on your side, anything is possible. I have done extensive research in communism, completing an …show more content…

In doing so, I will be able to talk about advancingly complex topics in the following speeches. I will explain the creation and original thought process behind Communism, quoting Karl Marx and possibly textbooks that touch on the topic. I will explain the practices and rules of Communism, again Marx will come into play, but here I can also introduce the usage of Communism in the Bible, an idea that will be used heavily in the speeches to come. Of course, I will talk about the usage of Communism in the world and along with that will come the shortcomings thereof. However, I can also start to portray the achievements and advancements of …show more content…

My goal is to convince the audience of why communism is good, or, at least, that it is not bad. The Bible will come into play more so in this speech than the last, as I highlight how God suggests that we should use communism and the happiness that come with it. I will also highlight the similarities of the communist teachings to that that we all learned in kindergarten. I will be able to back my position up strongly with scholarly articles on economics and possibilities. My third speech, the second informative, will expand upon a topic brought up in both of the former speeches: communism in the Bible. I will portray how exactly it is used, suggested and carried out therein. I am currently in the process of looking for articles and writings of known and/or respected theologians to back up my own studies of this topic, maybe reaching out to them for interviews. I am highly excited for this as I will not only be able to expand the knowledge of my audience about communism, but also mine and the audience 's knowledge and interpretation of the

Such a society would mean that, everyone would have food, water, shelter, an education and job. This is the ideal society. So why was it talked about with disgust and horror?

    1. Communism: Communism is defined as the political and economic doctrine that aims to replace private property and a profit-based economy with public ownership and communal control of at least the major means of production and the natural resources of a society. This form of government is important because it is backed by the idea of pure equality and is known for being the highest, most advanced form of socialism. Communism fueled the leaders of the Russian Revolution, such as Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, and Leon Trotsky. When Lenin was called into power after Nicholas II’s abdication, he immediately introduced Communism as Russia’s new form of government.

    Unfortunately, when people say the word communism, they think of leaders including Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union. The society of America puts a mask on everyone, giving them biased views. Communism has never really been executed under a non-corrupt leader, and that is why it gets such a negative view. Not only is communism looked down upon, but also less extreme forms of it like socialism which was proposed by a presidential candidate in 2016. Perhaps if this presidential candidate were elected as President of The United States, then this fantasy world of common motivation, and joint efforts could become a reality.

  • Karl Marx: The Contributions Of Vladimir Lenin And Marxism

    Andre Abi Haidar PSPA 210 INTRODUCTION It is always difficult to write about and discuss Karl Marx, or more importantly the applications of Marx’s theories, due to the fact that he inspired and gave rise to many movements and revolutionaries, not all of which follow his theories to the point. Although Marx tends to be equated with Communism, it might not seem righteous to blame him for whatever shortcomings occurred when his theories were put to the test; Marx passed away well before the revolution in Russia, and he played no role in the emergence of the totalitarian regime at the time. When discussing Marx, however, Vladimir Lenin is one of the biggest highlights when it comes to studying the outcomes of Marx’s theories.

  • Karl Marx's Vision Of Communism In The Communist Manifesto

    879 Words  | 4 Pages

    Karl Marx was a German philosopher and economist in the 18th century. He is known for his book the Communist Manifesto that was published in 1848. Marx believed that a revolution of the working classes would over throw the capitalist order and creates a classless society. The Industrial Revolutions led to the proletarianization; his partner Friedrich Engels explained why the changes created by the proletarianization of the worker would develop into a huge problem for industrial societies. I do believe that Karl Marx’s vision of communism in the Communist Manifesto could re-emerge as a popular and workable philosophy of social, economic, and political organization.

  • Karl Marx And Class Conflict

    Karl Marx (1818-1883) considered himself not to be a sociologist but a political activist. However, many would disagree and in the view of Hughes (1986), he was ‘both – and a philosopher, historian, economist, and a political scientist as well.’ Much of the work of Marx was political and economic but his main focus was on class conflict and how this led to the rise of capitalism. While nowadays, when people hear the word “communism”, they think of the dictatorial rule of Stalin and the horrific stories of life in a communist state such as the Soviet Union, it is important not to accuse Marx of the deeds carried out in his name.
