Communism

Communism is an ideology that seeks to establish a classless, stateless social organization based on common ownership of the means of production. It is usually considered a branch of the broader socialist movement that draws on the various political and intellectual movements that trace their origins back to the work of Karl Marx.

Communism in In the Presence of Mine Enemies
Communism was vehemently opposed by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. After the Axis won World War II, the Soviet Union was destroyed, and Communism was stamped out throughout the world.

Communism in Worldwar
Communism was abhorent to the Race on many levels. The Soviet Union, a not-empire that embraced communism, had been founded on the regicide of its former emperor, a notion that horrified the imperialist Lizards. In China, a country that did not easily accept Race rule, the most organized and effective resistence was offered by the Chinese Communist Party.

The Race wasn't the only one wary of the spread of Communism. A driving component of Nazi Germany's ideology was a fear of communism. And while the United States supported communist resistance in China, it did so somewhat grudingly.
