Document Summary

Ideological revisionism occurs with a member of the international system who has a value system that can"t be fulfilled unless a significant part of the international system follows that ideology. Communism is an all or nothing system which is why they want the whole world to be communist. +governments exploit workers/the poor, workers will revolt, and workers will create a society where everyone takes what they need and only what they need. +needs to have everyone be communist because communist governments have no need for a military and a capitalist society could easily use its military to destroy a communist society. Usually these ideologies are all or nothing because a country abiding by a certain ideology may get hurt unless every country lives by that ideology. +the soviet union was not a communist society; it was in their socialist phase because it had a government.
