I. Review the following political terms – match the word with its definition

Definitions

A. someone who believes in an ideology that seeks to establish a classless, stateless social organization based on common ownership of the means of production.

B. someone who believes in the philosophy and social theory based on Karl Marx's materialist interpretation of class struggle in history and his predictions for a future classless, stateless society. Marx was inspired by the Enlightenment ideas about re-ordering society according to scientific precepts and was influenced by the German philosopher, Hegel’s ideas about change resulting from two opposing ideas or situations in conflict.

C. broad array of doctrines or political movements that envisage a socio-economic system in which property and the distribution of wealth are subject to control by the community

D. A member of the Russian Communist party, constituted in 1903 by a majority faction of the congress of the Russian Social Democratic party.

E. Owner of the means of production in an industrialized economy

F. Working class for industrialized economies

G. political system in which the monarch has complete authority

II. Events of the Russian Revolutions: Which of the following events do you think is the most important for world history? Why?

· 1914: Russian government under Czar Nicholas II backed Serbia against Austria-Hungary.

· 1916: Russian dissatisfaction with high casualty rate led to Czar Nicholas II abdicating and the Russian parliament leading a revolution for a new government.

· Spring 1917: The Duma started a parliamentary democracy but stayed in the war and announced delayed new elections until after the war was over.

· Summer 1917: Germans offered Lenin safe passage to Russia

· Fall 1917: Lenin’s Communist group, the Bolsheviks overthrew the Duma, withdrew Russia from the war, and declared the success of a Communist revolution.

This was Marx’s outline for how societies should progress to get to Communism:

Did Russia fit the Marxist model?

Marx’s Analysis of the Stages of History

Russian History

Stage One -- Prehistoric Period – Primitive Communism

CHANGE; Agricultural Revolution

Foragers

CHANGE: Transition to Settled Agriculture

Stage Two -- Ancient Period – Masters versus Slaves

CHANGE: Slaves get angry and overthrow classical empires

Agricultural Economy

CHANGE: Mongol rule

Stage Three -- Feudal Period – Lords versus Serfs

CHANGE: Serfs get angry and overthrow feudalism

Russian Empire under Czars

CHANGE: Czar Alexander II ended serfdom

Stage Four -- Capitalist Period/Fully Industrialized (most people earn wages) – Bourgeoisie in conflict with Proletariat

CHANGE: The Proletariat revolt violently against Worsening Conditions (Wages, Abuse, Conditions) and spontaneously overthrow the Bourgeoisie to take over their factories and for a short while, the government.

Marx predicted the factory workers in Great Britain would revolt first, but their conditions and wages improved in the 19th century.

Limited industrialization with conditions improving for workers; most people were peasants and exports mostly agricultural goods

CHANGE: Russia entered World War I. The leaders of the Russian parliament, the Duma, overthrew Czar Nicholas II in Spring 1917 because Russians were suffering huge casualties in the war.

Dictatorship of the Proletariat – Workers in charge of the means of production through a temporary government.

Germans offered safe passage to Russia to Lenin

CHANGE: Lenin and his group of trained revolutionaries overthrew the Duma in October 1917 and forced a Communist (Bolshevik) revolution to occur.

Lenin established a Command Economy and Totalitarian State.

III. Was the Russian Revolution of October 1917 a Marxist Revolution? Why or Why not?

IV. What made the second Russian Revolution a Bolshevik revolution?

Changes and Continuities in Communism in Russia up to 1954

Summary of Marx’s Beliefs

· The COMMUNIST REVOLUTION would happen in a fully industrialized, capitalist country, most likely Great Britain.

· The proletariat workers would revolt SPONTANEOUSLY to destroy the horrible and deteriorating conditions in the factories and their low wages, and seize the means of production.

· The leaders of the proletariat would establish a “dictatorship of the proletariat,” (socialist state), in which the government controls the means of production

· Eventually, the socialist state would disappear, and COMMUNISM would emerge where there is only one class, the proletariat. Since there would be only one class, there would not be any class struggle and all of the proletariat would get what they need and would give what they could to the rest of society.

Explain how each of the following pieces of evidence represents a change or continuity in Communism, as a political ideology and as a political system.

1. Lenin believed that, even though Russia was not industrialized, he could train a small group of dedicated revolutionaries to FORCE a successful communist revolution that would then “spark” communist revolutions in other countries.

2. Lenin’s revolution was led by a small group of educated elites, and relied on workers and soldiers to support the BOLSHEVIK leaders in their revolution against the provisional Russian government led by the Duma.

3. In 1921, Lenin’s New Economic Policy (NEP) allowed farmers to own small plots of land and sell their surplus crops.

4. After Lenin died, Stalin seized power, ended the NEP, and FORCED peasants to live on collective farms (collectives).

5. Stalin’s command economy, in which the government owned all factories, farms, and other “means of production,” made all economic decisions for workers and factory managers.

6. Stalin’s Five-Year Plans FORCED rapid industrialization in the USSR through development of industrial and agricultural production to “catch up” with the West.

Directions: Write a thesis statement about the changes and continuities in communism from Marx to Stalin. (Were there more changes or more continuity? Why?)

Mastery Objective:  Compare divergent ideas about world peace after WW1.

8 January, 1918: President Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points:

“What we demand in this war, therefore, is nothing peculiar to ourselves. It is that the world be made fit and safe to live in; and particularly that it be made safe for every peace-loving nation which, like our own, wishes to live its own life, determine its own institutions, be assured of justice and fair dealing by the other peoples of the world as against force and selfish aggression. All the peoples of the world are in effect partners in this interest, and for our

own part we see very clearly that unless justice be done to others it will not be done to us.

V. A free, open-minded, and absolutely impartial adjustment of all colonial claims, based upon a strict observance of the principle that in determining all such questions of sovereignty the interests of the populations concerned must have equal weight with the equitable claims of the government whose title is to be determined.”

June 1919: Article 22 of the Treaty of Versailles

“To those colonies and territories which as a consequence of the late war have ceased to be under the sovereignty of the States which formerly governed them and which are inhabited by peoples not yet able to stand by themselves under the strenuous conditions of the modern world, there should be applied the principle that the well-being and development of such peoples form a sacred trust of civilisation and that securities for the performance of this trust should be embodied in this Covenant. The best method of giving practical effect to this principle is that the tutelage of such peoples should be entrusted to advanced nations who by reason of their resources, their experience or their geographical position can best undertake this responsibility, and who are willing to accept it, and that this tutelage should be exercised by them as Mandatories on behalf of the League.”

When and Why Did Fascism Begin?

A world economic depression began in the 1920s and drastically increasing unemployment in the 1930s. The fractured world economy intensified political instability and ideological extremism. Demagogues used these times of economic distress to preach a variety of solutions that were generally anti-democratic. Single party totalitarian states emerged in Italy, Spain, Portugal, the USSR, Germany, Brazil, Argentina, China, and Japan.

The ideology of fascism originated in Italy to glorify the leaders and expand its size. In Germany, Nazism also featured the racist philosophy of Aryan supremacy and the subjugation of those not “Aryan”. Fascist governments in Spain, Portugal, China, and Brazil used the threat of local Communist parties to gain support from their people.  The military government in Japan justified its expansionist policies on the needs for industrialization. Fascists claimed they were creating a better type of “modern” person who would retain traditional values, including gender roles, and still build a strong industrialized economy. 

Outline of General Characteristics of Fascism

I.  Personal Dictatorship A.  One individual is identified as the true leader of the nation, even though there may be an oligarchy or military command structure. B.  The dictatorship has a religious quality with actions by the leaders said to be holy or extraordinary in some way.  

II. Intense Nationalism A.  The citizens must show patriotism for their country, which is a relatively new, modern nation-state. B.  The policies of the government are militant, aggressive, and intolerant of differences or public debate.    

III.  Forcible Suppression of Dissent A.  censorship of the press and exclusion of foreign journalists C.  increasing propaganda about how wonderful life is under the dictator D.  secret police and severe treatment of political prisoners E.  book burning F.  government surveillance of citizens’ activities, including religion, culture, family    

Answer these Questions:

1. In what ways is fascism a “modern” type of political structure?

2. Why are there different kinds of fascism in the 20th century? (e.g. not all were expansionist)

3. What were people’s attitudes toward fascism?

KEY EVENTS FOR THE END OF THE COLD WAR (Chapter 32)

Directions: Annotate the timeline by identifying the POV that the leaders of the governments of the USA and the USSR had on the following events.

Poland:  Solidarity Movement, 1980 July 1980, the Polish government was once again forced to raise food prices, and by mid-August more than 100,000 workers were on strike. The Gdansk shipyards were once again at the heart of the protest. On August 14, 1980, the workers successfully seized control of the yard and demanded the reinstatement of Lech Walesa, who had scaled the shipyard fence to join the workers inside. Quickly named their leader, Walesa knew that the best hope of success was to get other types of workers to join the shipyard workers in protest. Walesa chaired the Interfactory Strike Committee, which linked the shipyard workers with workers in 20 other striking factories in the Gdansk-Sopot-Gdynia area, and the committee issued a series of bold political demands.  By 1989, free elections were held in Poland and the Communist Party lost power. Source:

News Reports in China, 1980

Newspapers in English and other foreign languages contained stories about the Polish Solidarity Movement, but the official Chinese press did not publicize the events.

World Nuclear Disarmament Movement, 1950s – 1980s

Public protests by civilians and petitions led by scientists and cultural figures pressured US President Reagan and Soviet premier Gorbachev to reconsider the former policies of “peace through strength.”

Glasnost and Perestroika in the USSR, 1985 -1991

Gorbachev finally rose to the top party spot in March 1985. Almost from the start, he strove for significant reforms, so that the system would work more efficiently and more democratically. Hence the two key phrases of the Gorbachev era: "glasnost" (openness) and "perestroika" (reform). Hoping to shift resources to the civilian sector of the Soviet economy, Gorbachev also began to argue in favor of an end to the arms race with the West. In 1989, he made a speech to the UN saying, "By agreement with our allies in the Warsaw Pact, we have made the decision to withdraw six tank divisions from the GDR, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary, and to disband them by 1991."  He also agreed that multi-party democracies could form in Eastern European countries that deserved "self determination."  By December 1991, Boris Yeltsin, parliamentary leader of the Russian Republic and then elected president, made Gorbachev and the USSR irrelevant.

Berlin Wall: 1989 torn down by East and West Berliners.

East Germany, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Baltic states, Rumania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Armenia, states in Central Asia, etc.:  As borders opened, mass migrations began to the nearest nation that was quickly overthrowing their Communist Party dictatorships.  Some changes in political structures happened peacefully, e.g. the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia that led to the creation of two nations: the Czech Republic and Slovakia.  Other political changes happened violently, e.g. the bloody overthrow of Romania's Nicolae Ceausescu.  The physical environment in much of Eastern Europe was ruined by unchecked chemical pollution of the air and water, so people migrating were escaping totalitarian governments, stagnant economies, and polluted environments.

Tiananmen Square and the Democracy Movement in China

In April 5, 1989, students organized a meeting in Tiananmen Square, the main

public space in Beijing. Part of the meeting was to memorialize Hu Yaobang, a

government official who had shown sympathy for the student movement. The

students called for freedom of the press and other political reforms. Some students created models of the Statue of Liberty while others defied the army, including one unarmed student who stood in front of a tank by himself. After a month of student-occupation of the square, the government sent troops to disperse the students who refused to move. Local citizens helped the students resist martial law. On June 3, 1989, Deng Xiaoping ordered troops to clear the square, and hundreds of protestors were killed. Leaders of the movement were sent to labor camps.

Nicaragua

In 1990, Daniel Ortega, Communist president of Nicaragua, decided to hold free elections within Nicaragua. This controversial decision occurred for several reasons.  First, the collapse of the Soviet Union had left Nicaragua seemingly without allies. International pressure was mounting, and many countries were imposing heavy economic sanctions on Nicaragua. Second, the contra war, going on for more than a decade, was getting unbearable to Nicaraguans, who wanted nothing but peace, and a chance to succeed in global markets. For these reasons Ortega gave the presidency up to elections—a noble act that put him in front of the race for president. He lost though, by a small margin, to Violeta Barrios de Chamorro, previously of the junta, who had split off and formed the political party National Union of Opposition (UNO). Chamorro became president, and was immediately faced with an endless amount of conflicts to resolve.

Cuban President Fidel Castro, 1999:

"The United States won the Cold War. Of course, it was very well assisted by the Soviet Union. [....] I trust that solidarity will prevail over xenophobia and racism, that generosity will prevail over selfishness."

Effects of WW1 on Global Economy

Banks in industrialized countries demanded repayment of loans from stock buyers, factory owners, farmers. Factories and businesses closed due to lack of credit.

As some banks failed in industrialized countries, there was a rush by rich and middle class people to withdraw their accounts; more banks failed.

USA businesses took over markets in Latin America the British and French had controlled before the war

Too much food on world market; prices dropped reducing profits for farmers.

Expansion of manufacturing and food exports from all over the Americas

Allies demand for reparations payments led German government to print too much money which caused hyperinflation and massive loss of savings for the middle class.

1920s Global Economy

Global factory production higher than consumption; some factories closed, others laid off workers.

Consumer demand increased but not enough for the amount of goods produced, because factory wages were low

The initial euphoria after the war led to easy credit offered by banks globally; purchases of stocks dramatically increased.

Some USA banks failed.

USA banks lent money to USA farmers and factory owners who expanded production during the war

Too many people tried to sell stocks they had bought on credit. The NY Stock Exchange crashed first, and then stock exchanges in other countries crashed.
