At the extreme ends as more or all government is Communism, and at the other end as less or no government is
Anarchy. Between Socialism and Communism is
Authoritarianism, which is central authority that ordinarily finances itself by taxation, and between Socialism and Anarchy is
Democracy which takes the form of some balance between what is considered to be too much and too little government.
Both the political philosophies of Communism and Anarchy purport that humankind is inherently good as born. And if there were no formal institutions such as church and state which promote bipolar antagonistic values, between such things as God and the
devil, rich and poor, elite and common, there would be no need for government.
The political philosophy of communism in its ideal Marxist form, envisions the "withering of the state" to the state of Anarchy, or ordered human relations without the necessity of government. Humankind is considered as inherently good as born, and the communist state is considered necessary to rid society of corrupt economic, religious, political and cultural institutions, and to
re-educate the populace to a state of non-putrefaction. This is considered to require Authoritarian rule because change is difficult, and because the pre-existent corrupt agencies continuously attempt to overthrow the communist society.
Communism is government which maintains the largest degree of socialism, and which regulates the community to the greatest degree. Communism is based on what is termed Authoritative Dictates, which is a model for ideal society to which every aspect of the society is to conform.
