Communism is the best solution to most of the world's problems

Through out this debate I will be covering many issues that communism can solve. For the first two rounds I will focus on the social issues that communism can solve. "Communism is the riddle of history solved, and it knows itself to be this solution. " Karl Marx in his book, Private Property and Communism (1844) The first two society issues I will focus on is racial ultra-nationalism and education. Even though there has not been a country which has adopted the communist system, there has however been a numerous amount of countries which aimed toward achieving communism through socialism. These countries like the Soviet Union, the People's Republic of China, the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the Republic of Cuba, and the German Democratic Republic have all focused on ending hate in their societies. But two of the nations put a special focus on ending ultra-nationalism in the societies, the People's Republic of China and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. First, when Mao Zedong created the People's Republic of China he stepped into power when there was some strong nationalist sentiment left over from the Chiang Kai-Shek days of China. So through art such as music, posters, and films, Mao ordered that they put a special focus on equality from all races like this poster detailing that all of the people no matter their race or creed are all the same because we are all being exploited by the imperialist powers: . http://chineseposters.net... (Caption reads: The struggle of all the people in the world against American imperialism will be victorious! ). These and many other works produced by the Chinese government dramatically decreased the nationalist sentiments in China. Another nation which similarly had a huge issue with nationalism was the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia which was formed directly after World War II by Yugoslav Partisans who fought of the fascist powers in Europe from gaining control in the Balkans. Even though the war was won, many fascist principles which where indoctrinated into the people during the German and Italian occupation of the regions of the Balkans. Especially with the fascist principle of having a dominate culture in society allured the many ethnic groups in Yugoslavia such as the Slovenians, Croatians, Muslim Bosnians, and the Serbians who had to deal with the majority of Albanians in Kosovo. This was a major issue in Yugoslavia which later tore it apart in the 90's due to the fall of socialism in the world which made Yugoslavia completely vulnerable. But before the collapse, the Yugoslavian government put a special focus on ending nationalist groups which was widely considered one of the major successes of the SFRY. Many would be terrorist were caught before they would cause any harm to another race. Even though the statistics of the crime rate in the SFRY are hard to come by these days since most records where destroyed during the wars in the 90s many former citizens of the SFRY recall it being safe anywhere in the country and moving from each region to each region they felt no cultural difference since the work to finally establish the fact that they are all Yugoslavians not Bosnians or Serbians. The next issue which communism can fix is the lack of educated people in a society. One of the finest examples of this is the Cuban Literacy Program after the revolution which replaced US installed dictator, Fulgencio Batista with Cuban working class born, Fidel Castro. Illiteracy was a huge problem in Cuba, most of the Cuban funds during the Batista years were either sent to the United States corporations or the many mafias in Cuba. But after the expulsion of the mafias and the US corporations in Cuba, the funds were finally being sent to the people. One of the key promises of the Cuban revolution was to abolish illiteracy in Cuba. Before the revolution, around 1959 the literacy rate was at 50-60% (These numbers were falsified a lot by the Batista regime, but historians agree that this was the rate but after the revolution and around 1962 when education was 100% free and readily available to all on the Cuban island, the literacy rate was at 96% which was actually one of the highest in the world. (Source: Fagen, Richard R. Cuba: The Political Content of Adult Education. Stanford: Stanford University, 1964. Print. ) These numbers mimic the success of many other socialist nations like the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China but Cuba has one the most well documented success that I have decided to specifically use Cuba for this argument. As I stated above, these are my two opening arguments, I have many other things I will discuss in the next few rounds.
