From Marxist ideals of a classless society and
ultimate equality to the crude reality of oppression and extreme regulation
from the part of the government, socialism has proven to be getting away from
its fundaments to become an inchoate attempt of an impossible utopian system.
The differences between the systems, for they should be considered totally different,
are indeed numerous and, although they do part of the same basis, in the
practice (URRS) the outrageous methods used by the red leader joseph Stalin
could only be compared in equipoise with Nazism or fascism.
As a starting point, the socialist ideals of the 19th
century include the disappearance of the state and of private property, as well
as destroying the social classes, while the 20th century reality
shows how Stalin made the communist party members the new high class of the
country and imposed a totalitarian system where everything was controlled by
the state. In addition, some ideas such as the organizations of workers,
although in part granted in the way of soviets, were proven to be useless as
the leader was a practically a supreme figure of power, an inexorable commander
of the forces of law in the country, no one could defy him or else his
existence would be propitious to be regarded as non-existent. Also, the ideas of equality of opportunities, stated as an important promise of socialism in
the 19th century, was never really a factor in the URRS. Some People
in the country could actually archive good status based in merits, although
most were based in having good contacts, whereas some very qualified and
intelligent people could be regarded as a social harm and sent to Siberia only
for knowing dissidents or being in the wrong place the wrong time (it must be
reminded that a dissident is just someone who disagrees with the state and thus
is a harm).
To conclude, it can be said that regardless of the
good ideas developed during the 19th century by the working class
and some philosophers and economists (such as Karl Marx or Friedrich Engels) the socialist system imposed as a
model by the Russians in the 20th century under the rule of joseph Stalin was
only a totalitarian system which used its economic plans as a cover for its
real repressive non socialist models in the time.
