But they had different forms of Republics as well.So I guess something could be Communism and a Democracy...that would probably be the ideal even....
Theres leninism, luxembourgism, marxism, maoism and most of all, communism! And one that begins with t. Im sure the question should be: 'Whats the difference between dictatorships and communism?' because then it wouldnt be such a silly question
I hope this website helps
oops, that site didn't work oh well I'll found some other information about this so here it is.
communist countries won the major resources and the means of production. the goal of each system is to prevent anyone from becoming radically rich while others are extremely poor. The system attempts to eliminate the lower class by balancing the wealth between rich and poor, therefore giving everyone equal pay and ownership. unfortunately, this results in an increased lower class. However in Democracy free enterprising is permitted, and smiled upon. free enterprising helps the economy flourish. people can organize their own businesses and receive their own profit if it success or debts if it fails. In this system, the harder a person works, the more money they receive, allowing them to make ends meet. the downside to democracy is that people can get a high paying job through education, but may work just as hard at a lower paying job and receive less money. In theory, everyone is equal in a communist government, however this is not true in many aspects. when any one person controls a communist government, its not far off from totalitarianism, as that one voice is the only one that really matters. In a democracy, every citizen has a equal say from the government regardless of race, education, or heritage.
I hoped this helped.
