A Communist is one who adheres or claims to adhere to the theories of Karl Marx, often supplemented by the ideas of other thinkers. The Ideal of Communism espouses the idea that all people on Earth are in some way responsible for the well-being of their fellow man regardless of his ability to produce goods or wealth. This attitude is as old as mankind but it was given a name by Karl Marx. It implies

the common ownership of the means of production and distribution of goods.

The USSR's abuse of the principle had served as an example of the principles of Communism not working. The People's republic of China is an example of the communist ideology leading to economic progress at the expense of individual rights and strong suppression of opposition.
