'''Communism''' is a [[left-wing]] anti-democratic and violent ideology dedicated to supposedly overthrow [[Capitalism]], replacing it with a unelected "[[dictatorship of the proletariat]]" by [[technocrat]]s and an atheist elite.  Under Communism, the [[political]] system replaces the [[private property|private ownership]] of the means of production with a supposed "collective ownership" of the [[economy]], but really maintained for benefit and profit of a corrupt elite.  Capitalism is impossible to overthrow because any business that costs more to operate than the income it produces, i.e. does not turn a profit, will ultimately fail.

In [[Karl Marx]]'s theory, Communism is the final phase of societal evolution that begins with [[Socialism]].  Marxist theory alleges that [[feudalism]] evolved into [[capitalism]], and capitalism evolves into socialism, and eventually the highest order of societal perfection is achieved when socialism evolves into communism.  Marx's ''Communist Manifesto'' proposes the establishment of a "[[classless society]]" when human society finally achieves this ultimate state.  However, all Communist societies have a [[class structure]], such as in [[Communist China]], which is dominated by the ruling elite - the children of the first generation of revolutionaries and party members selected out of state-run schools who demonstrate compliance with communist indoctrination.
