Ch. 22 P. 2

In the second part of the readings for chapter 22 what I thought of as interesting was the way in which USSR developed communism in the early 20^th century and by the end of the 20^th century most of it had collapsed.  It can be said that it collapsed in a way because their leaders simply took no more interest in it.  On the other hand you can say that it intentionally was shut down because they realized that communism was not going to get their union into a utopian society in which all are equal.  I simply find this aspect fascinating because of the quickness that millions of people can be persuaded to believe in something and also the quickness of reversing it.  It just shows the extent of the human error and how this should be taken into more consideration by leaders across the globe to make everyone realize that one specific way of doing something is not always the best way and that things can change therefore making a war out of it is senseless.
