They achieved power by war.. how they gained influence was by propganda and by treating the poor how they liked.

Yes I honestly do believe that commuism helped the poor. Though I think the propagnda, getting rid of the current leaders/power, and Mao were all insane, I do believe they did a good job helping the poor through community lunch, jobs, and money. Plus techincally by killing the rich they were doing what the poor man probably would want

1)
So I have a clear account of all the abuses of power And the memories of my homeland have now gone sour And I only got one weapon, its so plain for me to see My only weapon I call.. poetry
They wouldn't let me write about my opinions about the state And freedom of expression they would never tolerate And the military secrets that I never did steal I didn't start no violence, and there was nobody that I killed
So I have a clear account of all the abuses of power And the memories of my homeland have now gone sour And I only got one weapon, its so plain for me to see My only weapon I call.. poetry
And I don't even know why The truth seems like a lie In my cell there is no sky When I was arrested in Shanghai
2) China and the goverment will stay how it is now and were willing to "supress" the protest at the Tiananmen square and by supress I mean kill and arrest members of the movement for chinese democracy left and right. It is for the best because if we just let these traitors run around civilians are in danger.
3. For the most part the China has erupted into a scene of violence after the Chinese goverment ordered militaty force. As far as we know about 300-500 protesters have been either injured or killed and the tolls are on the rise.

1. Reform is the reorganization of a group's operations based on its current system. Revolution is the reorganization of a group's operations into a whole new system. Because revolution organizes a whole new system, it requires reforming EVERY part of the system in some way.
2. The Communists were able to achieve victory by swaying public opinion. While the Nationalists were in the cities and did not appear to care for the peasants of the countryside, the Communists would work alongside the farmers and sleep in the streets instead of taking over their homes for shelter. This helped garner public support for the Communist movement. Eventually, the Nationalists were overwhelmed and forced out.
3. The Communists did bring justice for the poor. Based on the quote, I can only believe that Hu Benxu felt justified because of how many poor people died while the rich lived in luxury. However, I cannot condone his actions. The rich were killed as revenge for allowing the poor to die, but many landlords could have been loving, caring people who took care of their people. However, all rich people were killed regardless of their previous actions. Therefore, I cannot believe it is justified.

1. Reform is to change something has a a problem with it. To improve something that doesn't function properly or has an injustice to it. Revolution is an overthrow of something that sometimes requires violence. It can also be done peacefully too. It all depends on the situation. Some do require violence though such as the American and French revolutions. 2. They lived among the poor and down trotted people. They gained their trust and devotion. So, when the poor followed them, they controlled the majority of the population. 3. I believe that they did bring justice for the poor. The richer people were finally held responsible for the bad things they were doing to toher people. They were held accountable for all of their actions. They didn't like it very much, but I believe it was the right thing. Based on the man's quote he believes that they did a great job in bringing justice for them. He is glad they began to take over. He probably even wishes it happened a lot sooner. You can tell he has been discriminated against by the upper class people of his nation. He finally got sick of it. 4. CLASS ACTIVITY.
