april 2nd communism in russia and china Cold War chapter 21 strayer
"An upstanding soviet citizen entered a medical clinic one day and asked to see an ear and eye doctor. asked about his problem the man replied well I keep hearing one thing and seeing another. a frenchman an Englishman and a soviet Russian are admiring a panting of Adam and eve in the garden of eden. the frenchman sys they must be French there naked and. they're eating fruit. the Englishman says clearly there English observe how politely the woman is offering fruit to the man. the Russian replies, no they are Russian communists of course. they have no house, nothing to wear little to eat and they think they are in paradise. these are two of an endless array of jokes that had long circulated in the Soviet Union as a means of expression in private what could not be said in public".
"communism was a phenomenon of enormous significance in the world of the twentieth century. communist regimes came to power almost every where in the tumultuous wake of war, revoultion or both. once established those regimes set about a thorough and revolutionary transformation of their societies building socialism as they so often put it. internationally, world communism posed a profound military and political ideological threat to the western world of capitalism and democracy, particularly during the decades of the Cold War from the late 1940s through 1991. that struggle divided continents countries and cities into communist and noncommunist halves".
"it also prompted a global rivalry between the United States and the soviet union (usssr) for influence in the global south. modern communism found its political and philosophical roots in ninetenth century European socialism, inspired by the teachings of karl marx. although most european socialists came to believe hat they could achieve their goals peacefuly and through the democratic process, those who defined themselves as communists in the twentieth century disdained such reformism and advocated uncompromising revoultion as the only possible route to a socialist future".
This was all content from the history book I rewrote because it had a lot of important information we would have to know for a final or exam or any type of project we are suppose to do.
