how did international affairs contributed to the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and the end of the Cold War
@jtee25,
It wasn't so much international affairs that resulted in communism. Communism imploded on its own, because that standard of living was so shyt poor. Look at China and Russia; they're practicing more free trade with other countries while their country loosens the grip on government owned businesses. They even have a stock exchanges; the very medium that shares profits of companies.
Not so much collapsed. but morphed. China isn't referred to as red or Communist China any more. Get hold of a copy of Marx's Das Kapital, or the Communist Manifesto, to get some idea as to how far Russia has wandered, for example.
An extreme application of socialism, if you may.
@33export,
Cuba is a communist country, but they now allow private ownership of business. Canadians are allowed to buy property there.
Stumble It!
