Ch. 22 P. 1

In the reading from chapter 22 what intrigued me was how quickly people began to follow these movements.  Communism was quickly followed especially by the poor in Russia and China.  This reminds me of the present day movements going on in the U.S.  The occupy movements occurring across the nation seem to be similar to what happened in Russia and China.  Of course, they occupy movement is not taking property or stealing stuff from the rich, but it is similar in the sense that it is the most affected people that are trying to take action and improve their living condition since many have lost their jobs and homes.
