Each section of the course ends with a quiz to check learning. This course, although scheduled to take 3 weeks, can be done more quickly as the pace is very moderate. I appreciate the fact that this course contains virtually all the vital topics and concepts in modern economics presented in an easy to understand language especially to learners without a background in both economics and politics. This is one of my best ever on futurelearn! Kudos to the team! I would have loved to have the certificate but for pausity of funds.
Really well presented, yes it was somewhat of a challenge in getting my head around some of the difference approaches. Certainly a must for any MP or political activist. This course was simply perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed the content I learned throughout the course, as well as its structure i. Overall expanded my knowledge in a field I have a high interest in, and would highly recommend this course. Category: FutureLearn Local , Learning. Category: Current Issues , General.

Formation The Communist Party of China was formed in It was under Mao Zedong's control in Eventually, Mao led a revolution, and the communist party obtained control in They followed the example of the soviet model of development through heavy industry with surpluses extracted from peasants.
Consumer goods were left to secondary importance. In the sino-soviet split of the 's, Mao split from traditional Marxism-Leninism and developed Maoism, the Chinese interpretation of communism.
Mao was upset with the Soviet leader Khrushchev's position of peacefulcoexistence between the communists and capitalists. Chinese Communists joined with the Nationalist Army in the Northern Expedition of —27 to rid the nation of the warlords that prevented the formation of a strong central government. Frustrated by the focus of the Nationalist leader Chiang Kai-shek on internal threats instead of the Japanese assault, a group of generals abducted Chiang in and forced him to reconsider cooperation with the Communist army.
The Nationalists expended needed resources on containing the Communists, rather than focusing entirely on Japan, while the Communists worked to strengthen their influence in rural society.
These undemocratic polices combined with wartime corruption made the Republic of China Government vulnerable to the Communist threat. The CCP, for its part, experienced success in its early efforts at land reform and was lauded by peasants for its unflagging efforts to fight against the Japanese invaders.
Japanese surrender set the stage for the resurgence of civil war in China. Though only nominally democratic, the Nationalist Government of Chiang Kai-shek continued to receive U. Cuba, North Korea and Venezuela ditched capitalism once before, when they became communist, in and and respectively, and they are reluctant to re-embrace it. Communist-capitalism is not an oxymoron any more, as long as the ruling communist party keeps entrepreneurs subservient to its ideology and governance.
So what are the specific characteristics of the new communist 2. Perhaps, the self-declaration of being a communist state is the most obvious and that this features in the constitution. Even if some states give it a different name. A similar level of abuse is observed in North Korea and Vietnam. And growing repression has also been observed in Belarus and Cuba. Recently, the west woke up to the dangers that its liberal and democratic values may face and the fact that capitalism alone cannot guarantee freedom and human rights.
Technology and AI are communism 2. This compliance is also enabled by the emerging military surveillance industrial complex , which is going to be at the core of successful communist-capitalism. And so repression becomes recognised as the engine of the economy; a guarantee of prosperity for most though not all.
The seismic shift from Soviet-style communism 1. North Korea remains an outlier and a squarely communism 1. To this day, Pyongyang refuses to follow the communism 2. Cuba and Venezuela, meanwhile, are also closer to communism 1. At the other end of the spectrum, Belarus, Laos and Vietnam are using whatever works economically as long as the ruling party controls production and profits. In this scenario, the number of communist states is bound to grow and individual and political freedoms will diminish.
The plan is to link and build a coordinated network of railway, road and maritime corridors to span all of Africa, Asia and Europe for the seamless export of products from China and the easy import of raw materials to this communist powerhouse. They hope to establish privileged links and collaboration with the communist superpower and they may not be the last western states to fall under its spell.
Since , Poland has repeatedly been risking tens of billions of Euros in developmental aid from the EU by rejecting the basic principle of EU legal primacy. Facing growing censure, in , incredulously, the Polish prime minister said that it did not matter, because in such a case China would offer Poland more money than Brussels.
I fear that, after my childhood in communist Poland, I may have to live out my old age under a communist 2. For you: more from our Insights series :.
