Communist countries will disappear in the near future


First of all, in terms of politics , through the history almost every communist country in the world got their powers by using violence, for example Cuba , China , Soviet Unions and so forth, After getting their powers these communist regimes controlled their countries by oppressing their people, they put their opponents into jails or labor camps, they controlled all media in which no different political opinions could be heard in these communist countries.

Second, in terms of economy, through history almost all communist country didn't develope their economies well, the powerful evidence is between Western Germany and Eastern Germany and between South Korean and North Korean and between China and Taiwan-Republic of China. As people know, the Western Germany had become world ' s powerful economy after WWT, however the economy of Eastern Germany was on the edge of collapse, After the fall of Berlin Wall, the two Germanies were unified under the Western Germany regime-capitalism, since then the unitied Germany has been becoming stronger and stronger. Needless to say North Korean and South korean, North Korean is one of the poorest countries in the world, their people have been suffering a lot under their "dear leader" , many ordinary people literally are starving to death. South Korean now is one of the strongest economies in Asia, she was once called three little dragons in Asia including Taiwan and Singapore. Taiwan under capitalism had become prosperity for a long time , their people enjoy freedom and democracy, however the mainland China under cummunist regime have suffered a lot since the ending of the Chinese civil war in 1949, during this period of time so-called Great Leap, millions of people starved to death, if the mainland cummunist China hadn't performed free-market oriented reforms in 1979, their communist regime wouldn't have been survived so far. All the three countries were divided by different regimes, one side is communist regime, the other side is capitalism regmie, their economies once were at the same level before they were divided, after short period of time, the capitalism side of the same country proved that their social system -capitalism are progressive and advanced. In other words ,history has strongly proved it.

In short , from the collapse of the Soviet Unions to beginning reforms in a few communist countries such as China and Vietnam, communist regimes are social cancers in the world, they slow down the social progress and economy development, most people in these communist regimes want to change the regime, they want to reform, they want to become democratic and free countries. The history will prove that these few communist countries will disapper in the world in the near future
