Abstract
The Marxian model of society is based on the concept of historical materialism, which gives rise eventually to a capitalist society of starkly divided classes and alienated individuals whose relationships are based on the mode of production. The paper explains that Marx sees society as a material entity which evolves from crude to more refined means of production, with ever greater gaps of wealth and power between the owner and worker classes, with individuals suffering from greater alienation as they become commodities themselves in the means of production. The paper shows that the alienation and class conflict eventually becomes so severe that violent revolution occurs, led by enlightened workers, resulting in the dictatorship of the proletariat, which gives way to the ideal socialist society.
From the Paper
"Marx focuses more on his critique of capitalistic society than on the socialist utopia. Among his most important ideas was that "existence determines consciousness." Most fundamentally, this phrase means that Marx believed that human individual and social consciousness was shaped by the conditions of the environment, the class conflicts, the means of production, the forces of alienation at work in capitalism."

Abstract
This paper describes how the author uses his book as a tool to expose social and political conditions and the results of an evil capitalist society while explaining the need for labor unions to aid and improve the needs of the workers.
From the Paper
"Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle," which had a direct reference to contemporary politics of the 1900s, is written from his Socialist point of view. He presents the machine politician, Mike Scully as being inherently evil with no redeeming value. Scully is portrayed as part of a corrupt political machine. The character, Scully, serves as a prototype of the machine politician. Sinclair does not develop his character, he is only a surface representation of all the unsavory qualities of a machine politician. Sinclair's novel parallels and portrays the progressive movement, which is characterized by the battle against governmental corruption, such as that exhibited by Scully, and inability to provide fair treatment to the citizens."

Abstract
This paper discusses the Chinese Communist Party?s (CCP) ?general line? (zongluxian) for ?socialist construction? (shehui zhuyi jianshe) which emerged during a period in which the initial years of the transitional phase of ?socialist transformation? were proving some considerable success. It examines how the period of so-called ?socialist transformation? of China during 1953 to 1956 represents a reasonably stable and successful phase of the ongoing revolution carried forward by the CCP. It looks at the progress that was made in the spheres of agricultural production, heavy industry and mining,and the expansion of education facilities.
From the Paper
"Soviet norms of development are reiterated by Li throughout his speech and, on the whole, this is not at all surprising. Following the period of reconstruction, the phase of socialist transformation (1953-1956) is perhaps best characterised by the consistency with which the majority of the CCP leadership subscribed to those norms. Borrowing from the Soviet Union was also reflected in the extent of practical Russian participation in the form of financial aid and scientific and technological guidance. In 1955, Li announced the start of 694 ?above-norm? construction projects, stating that a core of 156 of these were Russian-designed; in fact, many of the projects were not only designed in the Soviet Union, but also managed and run by Russians in China or Russian-trained Chinese."

Abstract
This research paper discusses the many similarities between the liberalists and the socialists. Although liberalists by name are to respect individual freedom and rights, they actually become socialists in their pressure to convince people to help society. Liberalists and socialists are also identified as having cognitive dyslexia-a condition that makes them do the opposite of what they intended to accomplish.

Abstract
This paper attempts to define the term "socialist realism" and looks at the works of the Vasiliev brothers (in particular film "Chapayev") and Eisenstein (in particular "Alexandra Nevsky") and how the socialist realist doctrine affected their work. It also analyses the differences between various Soviet films prior to Stalin and during his time in power as well as the factors that led to these differences.
From the Paper
"Boris Shumyatsky was recruited to take over as head of the film industry in the Soviet Union. He wanted to get a Hollywood style system going based on studios and frequent distribution of films, a factory like mechanism. He spent some time in Hollywood researching this before he returned and was appointed the job. Stalin over saw his work but being so obsessed with films himself he appointed himself along side Shumyatsky to screen the films for release. Stalin told him that one hundred were to be released per year, but due to his pedantic obsession with the pre-screenings, only thirty-three were released and Shumyatsky was subsequently executed for this in 1938. I included this little tale to try and put into perspective the conditions the filmmakers were working under. This would have enforced their focus on producing Socialist Realist films that pleased Stalin."

Abstract
The paper examines how these years in China marked a transition from what had proved a reasonably stable and successful period of ?socialist transformation? between 1953 and 1956, to the gradual dawning of a greater impatience with the pace of revolutionary change, culminating in the relative disaster of the so-called Great Leap Forward in 1958.
From the Paper
"The Chinese Communists, however, had not only the theories of Marx, but also the legacy of Soviet interpretations of that theory. By the 1930s, Soviet Marxists were beginning to regard this principal theme in Marx?s work as no longer relevant to their society. Once the fundamental material pre-conditions for a socialist economy had been established ? and they argued that this was the case ? then contradictions between productive forces and relations of production would be a thing of the past. Contradiction would be replaced by correspondence. Some conservative elements within the Chinese leadership in 1957 were perhaps motivated by this same sort of conviction that base and superstructure corresponded in some essential way, and that a harmony of development rather than contradiction would exist between the two. The history of the development of such an orientation begins in the Soviet Union in the 1930s. During these years, completion of the construction of a new fully socialist economy was announced by Stalin, together with his well-known fabulous claim that there were no longer any exploiting classes in Soviet society (3)."

National Socialist Art and Architecture, 2007.
A look at how the National Socialists in Nazi Germany used art and architecture for political purposes.

Abstract
This paper examines how, forming part of the propaganda machine, art and architecture were used largely for the glorification of the Nazi regime and the Aryan race and for the denunciation of Judaism, Bolshevism and what the Nazis thought of as "degeneracy." The paper looks at how, by enforcing changes in the art world and through the use of "new German" architecture, the Nazis sought to cleanse the fatherland of "degenerate art", which was seen as detrimental to the Volk, and to ensure the National Socialist movement's immortality through buildings that would survive to inspire future generations of the thousand year Reich.
From the Paper
"Art held a place of high value in National Socialist ideology. Hitler who was an artist turned politician inspite of himself had said "art is the only truly enduring investment of human labour." Hitler linked artistic styles with race, claiming that the Weimar period's "degenerate art" was a result of "racial decline." The Fuhrer also linked art with politics saying "art has at all times been the expression of an ideological and religious experience and at the same time the expression of political will." According to Nazi ideology, only Aryans were the true bearers of culture, therefore only they could produce true art. The modern styles such as Cubism, Dadaism and Expressionism, which had flourished during the Weimar period were a result of "cultural Bolshevism" and influenced by the Jews. "

Abstract
This essay argues that rapid economic reforms implement only initial stages of economic reorganization for Central and Eastern European countries. The region of post-socialist societies has specific constraints for the development of the market economy model and capitalist system. Therefore, in order to develop market relations in these countries governments should implement more sensitive and systematic rather than drastic reforms.
From the Paper
"For post-socialist countries a market economy first implies a higher life standards and better life quality. However, such an economic model has certain rules that control the economic performance of the actors. Although in practice the model of the market economy is a set of complex relations, the market itself could be defined as social institution, necessarily supported by a network of other institutions and social norms (Hausner, Nielsen, 1992: 134). The model of Central and Eastern European economies under the socialist regime was determined by a hierarchical bureaucratic structure and central planning. All countries were bound into one market, where competition ? the main driving force of the capitalist system and the market economy- was eliminated. Therefore, these two types of economic systems rest upon different mechanisms ? ?rules of the game?. Although the reorganization of economic system with an aim to reach the economic model of the capitalist society did take place in post-socialist economies, in the majority of post-socialist countries economic transformation lowered the living standards of the country. Therefore, one could raise the question is it possible and beneficial to replace socialist system with capitalist one? "

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how communism is a type of government where wealth and property are owned in common and production and labour are shared equally among the people. It also examines how socialism is the belief that the wealth of a country should be among all its citizens. In contrast, it looks at how democracies are multiparty political systems that rest on the principle of rule by the people.
Outline
Communism/Socialism vs. Democracy
Future Recommendations for Both Systems
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The father of communism, Marx believed that capitalism was an ineffective form of government in which wealth is not distributed fairly or properly. He believed that the working class would eventually overthrow the ruling class and that the working class would then set up a socialist form of government in which the government, not individuals, owned the means of production. Marx believed that this form of government would result in complete freedom with social economic equality for all people (as cited in Maddox G. 2000, p16). Both socialism and communism as they exist today have proved to be ineffective forms of government. Socialists try to achieve for society something that is impossible because of human nature: a utopian society where wealth is not attained by hard work but distributed equally by the government."

National Socialist Propaganda: Role and Nature, 2007.
An examination of the role and nature of Nazi propaganda.

Abstract
This paper examines the outlook and the function of the propaganda of the Nazi regime. It explains that the propaganda came in the form of movies, radio, newspaper articles and advertisements, mass rallies and books and infiltrated all aspects of German life. The paper looks at how the Nazi propaganda's saturation of German life and the very nature in which propaganda should be used, set out by Hitler and Reichsminister Dr. Joseph Goebbels, were essential to the regime's popularity, the obedience of its people and the building of its psychological and physical strength and population numbers. The paper also notes that propaganda continued to be used by the National Socialists as a manipulator of the people even after they had gained power and that the focus shifted from politics to the demonization of the Jews and the mentally ill, and to the promotion of the Volksgemeinschaft. The paper further discusses how poster art was one of many suitable mediums for conveying these messages. In conclusion the paper shows that National Socialist propaganda takes its place in history as one of the most powerful and successful operations the world has ever known; a programme that indoctrinated a nation and seduced it into pursuing an ideological fantasy, which eventually resulted in catastrophe.
From the Paper
"One such example of Nazi poster propaganda is the announcement of the "Third Reich's Day of the Farmer of 1935". The farmer, who had always held a place of high esteem in Nazi ideology, is portrayed as a strong, tall, idealised Aryan. He stands upright with his sleeves rolled up as if ready to work or take on some tremendous task. He appears brave, strong and physically idealised and a perfect example of a good German and Aryan man. The National Socialists had recognised that the farmer was the "fount of national health and future German greatness", and with this poster the Propaganda Ministry aims to create awareness of the value of the farmer and his physical and "Volkish" qualities in that he is putting the concern for the greater Volk above himself by farming. Not only is the poster a piece of propaganda, but the event that it advertises is also a propaganda act, held to "strengthen National Socialist values"."

Abstract
In this article, the writer presents an examination of socialist parties and looks at why they have been so much more successful in Western Europe than in the United States. The writer explores the basis for the party foundation and examines the fear Americans have of such beliefs. The writer maintains that as long as the American Dream remains the pot at the end of the rainbow for the millions who hear about America, socialism will most likely remain a theory that is popular elsewhere. The writer concludes that while Western Europe struggled with its identity and its need to rebuild following the wars it was involved in, the idea seemed feasible and the concept gained popularity and a significant measure of success for many decades.
Outline:
Introduction
Socialism
Why it Worked in Europe
Conclusion
From the Paper
"For the most part, the Western world is divided into two types of regime, socialist and democratic. The United States has been under a democratic form of government since its inception while areas of Western Europe have been highly loyal to the socialist form of government. The socialist form of government while thriving in Western Europe has failed to garner any significant support in the United States. One will find if one examines the societies that the people's desires, goals, ambitions and concerns are not that different. The difference between the two areas when it comes to the socialist parties is not the people, but the stagnation already being experienced when socialism was first introduced as a viable option."
