School speech

[superiority]

I'm a 15-year-old who is doing a speech topic in English at the moment. I'm leaning towards doing one on Communism, so I'm wondering if someone could point me to some resources containg useful content. The speech would have to argue a point, not just be informative - does anybody else think it unfair there is a Wikipedia page Criticisms of Socialism, but no Criticisms of Capitalism?

These may be of use to you...

What is Socialism? An Attempt at a Brief Definition (http://redstar2000papers.com/theory.php?subaction=showfull&id=1082900868&archive=&cnshow=headlines&start_from=&ucat=&)

What is Communism? A Brief Definition (http://redstar2000papers.com/theory.php?subaction=showfull&id=1082898978&archive=&cnshow=headlines&start_from=&ucat=&)

You are free to steal any of this stuff that you may find useful without credit. :lol:

In addition, don't forget to check the Resources Forum (http://www.revolutionaryleft.com/index.php?showforum=65) for potentially useful information on particular topics.

Good luck!

You could also go with the classics,
Principles of Communism (http://marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/11/prin-com.htm)
The Communist Manifesto (http://marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/index.htm)
Wage-Labour and Capital (http://marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/wage-labour/index.htm)

And if your an American,
If America Should Go Communist (http://marxists.org/archive/trotsky/works/1935/1935-ame.htm)

Wikipedia is free , all you have to do is write one!
