7. Sumarry of communism cold war
Communism, as it was practiced in the Soviet Union and other communist
countries during the Cold War, was a political and economic ideology that
advocated for the establishment of a classless, stateless society in which the
means of production are owned and controlled by the community as a
whole. This idea was based on the writings of Karl Marx and Friedrich
Engels, who believed that capitalism, with its exploitation of the working
class, was inherently unjust and that a socialist or communist system would
be more equitable and efficient.
In the Soviet Union and other communist countries, the government was
controlled by a single communist party, which held a monopoly on political
power. The government was responsible for directing the economy and
shaping the country's social and cultural policies. In theory, the goal of
communism was to create a society in which everyone was equal and had
access to the same resources and opportunities. In practice, however, many
communist governments were authoritarian and repressive, and they often
suppressed political opposition and individual freedoms in the name of
creating a more equal society.

rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union, and
their respective allies, that lasted from the late 1940s until
the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. During this time,
the United States and its allies, who were predominantly
capitalist democracies, saw communism as a threat to their
interests and values. The United States and the Soviet Union
engaged in a variety of activities, including military and
economic competition, espionage, and propaganda, in an
effort to assert their dominance and spread their respective
ideologies. The Cold War had a significant impact on
international relations and shaped the political landscape of
the second half of the 20th century.
