The American political belief system has been around for as long as there have been white men living on this soil. From the colonial period, at which time we adopted the political ideology of the English system, to today, when we have our own ideology, stemming from beliefs influenced from around the world. These beliefs are ones that make us a world super power due to our freedom to express ourselves by means of voice, documentation, or public protest. In our society today, we have many political parties, including the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, the Liberal Movement, the Conservative Movement, Communism, Fascism, and finally, Socialism. All these parties are somewhat active in all forms of government throughout the world, some more prominent than others, all having major influences on all aspects of our lives.

One of the first prominent political parties would have to be the Democrat

In the beginning, Democrats felt strongly that the national government should do nothing the states could do for themselves and the states nothing the localities could do. This all means that there should be little to no national government intervention in the lives of Americans. The opposing party at the time, the Whigs believed in using governmental power to promote, regulate, correct, and reform. Throughout history, the Democrats have always struggled to control the house and presidency, and at times when they do have control, they eventually lose it.

Communism is a concept or system of society in which major resources and means of production are owned by the community rather that by individuals. In such a society, this theory would provide for equal sharing of all work, according to ability, and all benefits, according to need. In essence, Communism involves the abolition of private property by a revolutionary movement, responsible for meeting public needs is then vested in the state. Communism is a political way of life coined by Russian Karl Marx. Marx claimed that a Capitalist society would eventually choke itself with its own wealth. Modern day Communism is not what Marx had envisioned, as Communist societies are not as successful as he would have desired. Such societies would be the former USSR, in which Communism controlled the government for decades. But in the late 1980's, it became evident that Soviet Communism was in shambles, and heading for disaster. America has always viewed Communism as a "disease," one that could quite possibly infect the world, and lead to its demise. Due to this belief, certain precautions have been taken to insure a possible "epidemic," including the Truman and Eisenhower Doctrines, and the Korean War. But, to anti-Communists, this was not successful, as from 1945 to 1975, the number of countries und
