Being one of the Grand Alliance’s architects, Churchill recognized that its dissolution was a tragic reality. ...

However, some people stray away from the common perception of government and embrace anarchy. Anarchy is basically opposite of what the government stands for, anarchism is a political ideology (Carter, 1971) that holds the state undesirable and harmful while advocating for stateless institutions.

During the early fifties, hostilities between the two halves of the country reached breaking point, and the Korean War broke out, with the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea attempting to reunify the country by conquering South Korea, and the American army attempting to ...

Abstract

The basic principle of Marxist criticism is that society is divided in social classes that are in an antagonist relation, wherein the rich and strong exploit the poor and weak. In this sense, Walt Whitman’s poem “A Noiseless Patient Spider” does not reflect the exploitative relation that Marx sees as representative for society, but he rather describes the society of one, hence an atypical society. The solitude, isolation and desolation are feelings that appear throughout the story, so the reader can understand that possession, or a high social status is not as important as companionship, or when one ...

In Soviet Deception in the Cuban Missile Crisis, James Hansen argues that Moscow’s central tenet has always been “to prevent an adversary from discovering Russian intentions by deceiving him about the nature, scope, and timing of an operation,” conceding the idea that there exists a pattern of covert political or militaristic tactics at work in the world.

Communism started during the 1840s, the period when different ideologies arose in Germany. It was founded by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, who respectively excelled in their fields; politics and sociology (History World).

This is because, the feudalist society was dominated by the bourgeoisie, whose ...

At the forefront of the causes of the First World War was the growing sense of Nationalism among the European nations as they reacted to the “fallout” of imperialism abroad and social class conflicts at home (WWI and the Interwar Years, Part 1 3-4mins). In other words, each European power was keen to minimize its counterpart’s influence in the colonized territories and within its borders.

Civil rights movements existed before the cold war but they became stronger during this period. African Americans were behind these groups. The conditions that created the need for this movement include poverty, constant lynching of black people by white Americans, segregation, slavery and the denial of the right to vote. This was also a recipe for the Soviet Union which was engaged in a cold war with the US to dwell on propaganda about the American situation. The Civil rights movement accomplished a lot during this time. At the end, black children could go to the same schools as ...

When the Bolshevik lead by Vladimir Lenin took control of the Soviet Union after the Soviet Revolution overthrew the Romanovs. Lenin had felt that the capitalism of the Soviet Union was what enabled the people to have a successful Socialist revolt against the government.

In perhaps the most bizarre outcome of the Second World War, the removal of the German-led Axis Powers as a common enemy paved the way for the emergence of the capitalist and the communist ideologies that created the Western and Eastern bloc respectively. The unity witnessed between the Soviet Union and the United States as part of the Allied Powers ended with World War II as the former claimed a lead in advocating communism while the latter supported capitalism in the name of democracy (Foner, 2014, p.709). The different stands plunged the two nations and their allies into the ...

History

Abstract Karl Marx observed the large gap between workers’ and serfs’ quality of life compared to the aristocrats running European countries from France to Russia. He theorized that viewing workers as commodities necessary to produce profits was causing deep angry feelings of alienation in the working class. The pamphlet written by Marx and Engel called The Communist Manifesto (1849). Marx’s work grew from Hegel’s theories about alienation in order to apply to society in the decade of the 1840s (Panich & Leys, 1998). Contemporary authors have determined that the feelings of alienation in 1848 were similar to what ...

It has always been the desire of independent nations to act as such: making their own decisions in accordance to their national interest and sovereignty. It is true that nationalism in this regard condones any form of external intervention and manipulation, especially if these actions can directly influence a nation’s political wellbeing.
