Scenarios about 'communism'
Communism is a socio-economic ideology advocating for a classless society with common ownership of property and means of production. Emerging from Marxist thought in the 19th century, it became a dominant political force following the 1917 Russian Revolution, shaping global politics throughout the 20th century through the Soviet Union, China, and other states. In alternate history scenarios, communism often serves as a pivot point for exploring different outcomes of revolutions, Cold War conflicts, and economic development paths.
