MEANING OF ANTI-COMMUNISM
Anti-communism is opposition
to communism. Organized anti-communism developed in reaction to the rise of communism, especially after the 1917 October Revolution in Russia and reaching global dimensions during the Cold War.Most] anti-communists reject] the concept of historical materialism, which is a central idea in Marxism. Anti-communists reject the Marxist belief that capitalism will be followed by socialism and communism, just as feudalism was followed by capitalism. Anti-communists question the validity of the Marxist claim that the socialist state will "wither
away" when it becomes unnecessary in a true communist society.Anti-communists argue that the repression in the early years
of Bolshevik rule, while not as extreme as that during Joseph Stalin's rule, was still severe by reasonable standards, citing examples such as Felix Dzerzhinsky's secret police, which eliminated numerous political opponents by extrajudicial executions, and the brutal crushing of the
Kronstadt rebellion and Tambov rebellion. Some anti-communists refer to both Communism and fascism as totalitarianism, seeing similarity between the actions of communist and fascist governments. Historian Robert Conquest has argued that Communism was responsible for tens of millions of deaths during the 20th century.Opponents[argue
that Communist parties that have come to power have tended to be rigidly intolerant of political opposition. These opponents
claim that most Communist countries have shown no signs of advancing from Marx's socialist stage of economy to an ideal communist
stage. Rather, Communist governments have been accused of creating a new ruling class (aNomenklatura), with powers and privileges greater than those previously enjoyed by the upper classes in the non-communist regimes.
