are you sure that you are in the right thread

No Marx did not create communism. But he and Engel wrote The Communist Manifesto outlining all the concepts of communism. He also wrote Das Kapital which is a book about capitalism and the like.

No, Marx did not create socialism.

You have outlined many types of governments here. But techincally some of them are "repeats" or forms of the same class structure. So in a sense Monarchism and a Dictatorship are one and the same because they both entail a class caste system where the elite are the most prosperous of the lower classes' work.

Have to clear a few things up:

depostism = dictatorship = monarchy (they are basically the same thing, although structurally they could take on many forms, but they basically all come down to the same bunch of stuff)

republic is not a form of government. It simply means a country that is not ruled by a king, which means that it can be a democracy or a dictatorship.

Anarchy is not a form of government, since under anarchy there is no government.

Socialism is a way of running the economy, the government can both be a democracy or a dictatorship.

Communism is really just a form of overall state of society, it's not really any specific form of government.

So that basically leaves us with democracy, and the other one: dictatorship. No, I don't think there are any other forms of government.

is feudalism a form of government?

i guess its kind of a dictatorship really cos of its structure:

Monarch
/ \
Lord Lord
/ \ / \
baron baron baron baron
/ l l l l l l l l l l \ / l l l l l l l l l l l \
fuckloads of peasants working on land
the dont own, giving what they grow to
the barons.

am i right?

also, can a dictatorship be considered a form of government? there is no forum for debate in a dictatorship, and any government that does exist essentially serves no purpose surely?

Communism has no State.


Socialism is the trasition point between capitalism a communism.

Capitalism is a form of society were their is a rich and powerful minority ruling a majority for profit.



Socialism is a society were the working class (which is the majority) take control of the state.


Communism is the final goal .It is a stateless , classless , propertyless, and equal society that work for everyone .

Socialism is a way of running the economy, the government can both be a democracy or a dictatorship

That seems wrong.

Socialist societies can go through certain periods of liberalism or repression, but Socialist societies are always democratic because they are run by and in the interests of the overwhelming majority.
