Communism in relevance to the American economic situation

Firstly, I apologize for the delay in my response. The best example of a successful Socialist system can be drawn from the Former Soviet Union. Through societal hardships instigated by the former czars and socioeconomic strains of a collapsing economy, the Socialist that would come to power improved the impoverished nations. After the Russo-Japanese war. Russia was plagued with civil strife directly related to the unrest of its citizens. The slight progress that had taken a very long time to accomplish had been easily ruined. The workers rights had been abused and many people were starving. It took a 'radical' approach to accomplish re-empowering the nation. Many groups had placed their collective input into the situation and many attempts failed at reviving the fallen economy with its desolate people. An answer was needed and eventually found through Socialism. The rebuilding had begun. Though it took many years to accomplish, The Soviets had emerged with a booming economy and widespread involvement with other nations. Citizens rights had been held in favor through a redistribution of commodities. The goal was not focus on individual profit but to the needs of the entire peoples. Through a collective work force that prided itself on Natural Equality, the Soviet Union brought many countries out of the grasp of societal meltdown. Unfortunately the desires of an eccentric dictator continued to expand the separation of classes he had helped to destroy. Essentially though many people eventually died as a result of Stalin's doing, the Soviets economy stayed strong until outside forces fought for Capitalism and eventually carried in the collapse of the economy. As far as an aversion to the hardships current and past Socialist governments have faced, it is hard to offer a complete solution without distorting previous efforts due mostly to my very limited knowledge of complete economic strategy. Non the less, I shall try my best to offer a foundation in which restructuring can take place. I shall base my strategies on the former Soviet Union as well. First we must re-educate the population on what our movement is. This may take years. During which a restructuring of our wealth system must take place. This is the beginning for most Socialist/Communist societies during the transitional period. The integration of militant forces should be disabled. In previous Socialist countries, individuals have taken power through the use of force to destroy the current heads of state. This only perpetuates violence and eventually leads to the inevitable downfall of the economy. Selfish leadership has continued the dehumanization of their public. To prevent this we must stay vigilant in our keeping of democracy. Again re-education must take place. The needs of the people must be taken into account. This in my very humble opinion is what many 'leaders' lacked in reference to continued success of Socialist countries. The means of production and nation wide finance cannot depend on local production. In a modern world the need to keep up with Capitalist trends is very important, the creation of a Socialist public in first world nations must take place. It is also important to refrain from outside influence. The arms race continued the thinking of two separate nations competing for world dominance. It split our world apart while momentarily causing the to economies to grow. Eventually leading to a collapse of both. For the record, I think it not only unjustly presumptuous but offending to say that the common worker could not control the means of production in the modern industrial workplace. Many companies promote from within and educate the workers on management. It usually take someone with an understanding of the common worker as well as the knowledge of all aspects of production to successfully manage a project. Con, the ball is in your court. I look forward to hearing from you.
