Discussion Post: Examine communism and socialism.
From the beginning, communism in the USSR was doomed to failure, eventually collapsing under its own burden of supply and demand. Despite the intentions of Soviet Union, the failed welfare state simply consumed more then it could produce, pushing them into an economic strain that would lead to the end of communism and the restructuring of the countries in that region. There oppressive nature onto the people of the Soviet Union did not gain the support of the populace and when the already stressed spending of the country was forced to contented with the advancements of the American nuclear and space programs, the weight of the competition was internally too much to handle and led to the crumbling of the governmental control that had kept them in power for so long (San Jose State University, n.d.). Without the finical support of the state, factories would close, and satellite states would uprise and eventually splinter away from the Soviet Union.
