Communism is one of the largest and most controversial political ideologies in the modern world. It has been adopted in various forms by Cuba, China, and, of course, the Soviet Union. But who developed the underlying tenets of Communism? Why has this form of government not been adopted more widely by Western nations?
In this episode of Perspectives, five experts use events from the last century to illustrate the ideological development of Communism as well as its promises and pitfalls.
