Why did communism grow so quickly? Why did it spread to turn almost
half of the world red by the mid-1970s? What impact did it have
upon capitalism and capitalist society? Communism is a concise
introduction to one of the most important and influential movements
of the 20th century. It shows how the modern communist movement
emerged out of radical millenarian movements of the Middle Ages and
the English Civil War, becoming a mass movement of industrial
society, seeking to overturn capitalism and replace it with a
society of equality, justice, harmony and co-operation. It traces
the growth of modern communism from its beginnings in the early
nineteenth century to its position of global power at the end of
the Second World War. Mark Sandle investigates the ultimate failure
of communism as a political ideology, and concludes by asking how
far the historical record of communism has been used to conceal the
historical record of capitalism. Ideal for courses in both History
and Politics.
