The Democratic Socialist system prevails in China, Russia, Yugoslavia.
The Democratic Socialist system prevails in China, Russia, Yugoslavia. This system allows, but limits the possession of people, and the government assumes the ownership and administration of the bulk of the country's wealth and industries. In other words, individuals will not be allowed to have more than they barely need, while the government manages, develops, secures, and maintains every aspect in the society.
This is obviously not healthy, because it will deny people the initiative, responsibility and the imaginative power, and self-interest. Indeed, Russia and other Socialist countries wondered at first about the impracticability of their ideas, and thought the reason to be the precipitates of Capitalism. But when fifty years have lapsed and their dilemma has not changed, they implicitly realised the wrong concepts assumed.
Hence they introduced remarkable changes and alterations in the system to the extent that China accuses Russia to be deviating to the capitalist line. The Communist system has no existence, and no practical experience up to now. In other words, it is theoretical and has never been realised in practice. It should be noted carefully that the Communist system assumes in man idealistic motives.
This means that Communism demands biological and psychological transformations and changes in the human being! The simplest thing to say in order to discard the Communist theory is that it contradicts with human nature and instincts. This is scientifically proved and materially beyond doubt, because this theory deviates from experiment and observations. The Islamic system is the last one to be examined in this short review.
Although the Islamic system has no existence now, but it has passed the experience of application. It is a practical system unlike Communism. It was very successful in raising the primitive Arabian nation of the sixth century to the greatly civilised nation of the 12th century. The boundaries of the Islamic Empire, then, were stretching between China in the east, and the Atlantic Ocean in the West. It was the deviation from Islam which caused the failure of the Islamic Empire.
It was in 1918when for the first time in the Islamic world, that the Quranic law was replaced by Western law. Here it is advantageous to pass quickly over the recent Islamic revivals, and its development in order to have a proper grasp of the understanding and mentality of today's Muslims.
