Q

List 3 reasons why Communism is not a good form of government.

A

The Communists say that there is no God. Communists control all the newspapers, televisions, and radios in the countries they rule. Families have very little privacy. According to Communist teaching, property should be held in common, and there should be no private property. People must get permission from the Communist Party to move from one place to another. The benefits of the State is more important than the fair treatment of individuals. People do not have the right to trial by jury. The people may sometimes vote, but they can vote only for Communists.
