“(Communists) openly declare that their ends can be attained
only by the forcible
overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let
the ruling classes tremble
at a Communistic
revolution. The proletarians
have nothing to lose but their chains. They
have a world to win!” - Marx.

Why was the USSR afraid of the West?
•The USA, UK, & France had sent soldiers to Russia in 1917 to stop the Revolution
•Their “communist” revolution was not very successful
•The USSR had just lost tens of millions of people in the war and Stalin’s purges… they were not prepared to fight the USA & UK
•They were a paper tiger

Causes of the Cold War• 1) Capitalism vs. Communism

– USSR afraid US & England would attack them (they had before) & that they would rebuild Germany & Germany would attack USSR again.

View of Government
Government should not interfere with economy: laissez-faire
Everything is owned by the government
Government closely regulates the economy (sets prices, tells factories what to make, etc.)
![Page 21: The cold war global](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55493dc4b4c905054d8b4dc7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Individual Freedoms
•People are free to choose their own careers•Freedom of religion•Freedom is more important than security
•Government determines the job you get•Religion is the “opiate of the masses” and should be done away with•Sacrifice freedom for security
![Page 22: The cold war global](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55493dc4b4c905054d8b4dc7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
On the future Capitalism is the only efficient economic system
“It’s not perfect, but it’s the best we can do”
•Capitalism will destroy itself•Workers will eventually rise up in a violent revolution and take power•The future of the world is communism
