The document summarizes the communist revolutions in Russia and China. It describes how in both countries, long-lasting dynastic monarchies faced economic and social problems that led to revolutions. In Russia, the revolution began in 1917 when the Tsar was overthrown and a provisional government took over, but it failed to solve Russia's problems. This led to a Bolshevik revolution and the rise of Lenin and communist rule, followed by a civil war that the communists won, establishing the Soviet Union until 1991. A similar pattern occurred in China, where the Qing dynasty fell in 1912 but the country continued facing issues until the communist revolution of 1949 established communist rule under Mao.

2. -Socialism –
The means of production (businesses and services) are
owned by the ―public‖ and operated for the good of all.
The government controls key industries and thus parts
of the economy.
-Marxism / Communism -
A radical type of socialism based upon the belief that:
the working class majority would unite and forcibly
take the political and economic power from the wealthy
minority—who took advantage of them.
The working class would then control the government,
industry and agriculture.
Worker councils would govern ―democratically‖. Goods
and services, profits and benefits would be shared
equally. Eventually, a classless society would develop.
