and Fascism
Initial Post Instructions
For the initial post, select and address one of the following:
Option 1: Examine Marx's writings on communism and socialism and compare

misconceptions do we have about his original intent based on what we see in past or
current governments?
Option 2: Compare and contrast communism and fascism. Select one example
for each to examine the origins of the governments, their accomplishments, and their
failures. What accounts for the fact that the masses mobilized to support these
movements? Elaborate.
Option 3: Examine Depression-Era social programs (select one or more to
examine in detail). Were the fears of a communist take-over based on the
implementation of these programs grounded in reality? Why or why not? How do they
compare to social programs in place today?
