    There are many differences between these three governments, but the biggest differences are:

    1. In socialism, people are allowed to own businesses, but when the government decides that the business is to rich, then the government takes the business from you.

    Communism and Marxism used to mean the same thing, but Communism has changed.

    2. In Marxism, everyone works for the greater good for everyone else. Everyone gets equal amounts of everything(food, clothes,electronics,etc). And although the government owns everything, the people still get equal everything. This government has never been used by any country.

    3. In communism, everyone works for the greater good for the government. The government owns everything and they get the most and best of everything.

    Communism was transformed to what it is today by Joseph Stalin. Marxism was created by a man named Marx. He lived in London, in the slums and wanted a better life for everyone.


    Factoid #12- The Roman Catholic Church helped to save some Nazi's from persacution. They did this so that if communism ever got so big, there would be some government who could stop them. The Roman Catholic Church wanted Nazism over communism.

    • Marx was German, and the Protestant Church supported the Nazis just as much as the Catholic Church.

    • What does the Catholic Church have to do with anything?And your facts are wrong. Luthers wanted the Nazis more than Catholics

    • Communism was an ideal before Karl Marx existed. Communism is an ideology centered around the concept of communal ownership.

    • The myth of Hitler's Pope was begun by the play "The Deputy" (1963) by German playwright Rolf Hochhuth. That's when the slander of Pope Pius XII began. Popes have denounced and condemned Marxism, socialism and other "ism's" in encyclicals (official documents) which are available online for anyone to read. Really, a little research would have prevented some of the ridiculous statements I've read here about the Catholic Church.

    • If the photo is of Pius XII: "In fact the Pope never met Hitler, and when Hitler visited Rome in 1938, Pius very publicly snubbed the Nazis by leaving for Castel Gandolfo." Quoted from "The Myth of Hitler's Pope" by Rabbi David G. Dalin.
