'''Communism''' is an ideological system based largely upon the writings of Karl Marx. Communism contains numerous theoretical and cultural traditions. The one constant among people who consider themselves Communists is a belief in complete collective ownership of the means of production. However, Communists differ widely on the means to be used in obtaining this goal, the nature political organization should take in a Communist society, and over the relationship between religion and political economy. Communism can be divided into several main branches: Stalinism, Maoism, Trotskyism, and Humanistic Communism. | '''Communism''' is an ideological system based largely upon the writings of Karl Marx.
