Explain communism in at least one sentence:
A classless stateless international society based on a state of abundance
CORRECT!
1/2 points
Explain socialism in at least one sentence:
The Dictatorship of the proletariat, i.e. a transitional state to communism in which private property has been abolished and the workers command the state. In accordance the economy is collectivized and planned.
EXPLANATION:
Private property doesn't have to be abolished. Private property of factors of production may be abolished, but this is not a rule. The main aim of socialism is to end exploitation and to give people equal rights and opportunities. The aim of socialism isn't achieving communism, but socialism itself.

What are the strengths and weaknesses of free market and centrally planned economy. (name at least one strength and one weakness for each.)
there are no strengths of free market economy. Only weaknesses when compared to collectivized economies in which countries have leaped forward centuries in a matter of decades unaffected by the boom bust cycle of capitalism.
EXPLANATION: This might be true, however free market results in a higher economic growth since the working class is forced to work much harder than they ever would in a socialist country. If they wouldnt work that hard, they would be fired and would end up homeless and might starve to death.
The weaknesses of free market is not only inequality and huge income disparity but also "market failure". centrally planned economy has opposite weaknesses and strengths. |
