Various Communist doctrines have evolved or been adapted to the time and place they have been implimented.  Marxism, developed by [[Karl Marx]], and its modifications under [[Vladimir Ilyich Lenin| Vladimir Lenin]], [[Joseph Stalin]], and [[Mao Zedong]], advocates the overthrow of the exisitng order by a revolution of the proletariat, the social group which does not control the means of production.

The most famous government to label itself "communist" is the former [[USSR]] or the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; the Communist Party controlled its government from 1922 to 1991. This government was officially [[atheist]] and attempted to suppress all religion. Like many authoritarian regimes, it tried to cultivate reverence for the state as a psychological substitute for religion. Left-wing critics of the USSR charged that it was communist in name only, and had betrayed the revolution which founded it. George Orwell expressed this viewpoint eloquently in his 1945 fable ''[[Animal Farm]]''. However the USSR was not properly ran as a communist country and just hid behind that title in order for the leaders to feed off the workers the only true communistic states are to be found in large clonies of insecs such as bees, ant and termites.  These insects show a mentality where they  have no sense of individual and will sacrafice themselves for the good of the colony.  1 example is when termites make a living wall of soldiers to keep out predators and then are cemented in to die.  This shows how communism could never work in humanity as we all have individualistic greedy minds and want only to better ouselves.

Marxist theory is intended to appeal to its adherents with the phrase, "from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs", which essentially states point blank a worker does not get paid according to his abilities, and there is no [[incentive]] within the economic theory.  Another quote by Marx was, "The theory of the Communism may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property," i.e. legalized theft.

Marx also coined the disparaging atheistic dictum "religion is the opium of the masses", expressing the fundemental Marxist view that the proletariat have been brainwashed by religion, and thus a ''Nomenklatura'' of ''[[enlightened]]'' party members with this [[esoteric]] knowledge and foresight are justified in enslaving the masses, for their own benefit.
