Answer:
Explanation:
For the rise, communism seemed like a good idea in theory as it completely removed the class divide and made a classless society as it allowed fair pay to everyone. This removed a lot of problems in the world where many can't move up the ranks.
But I believe the fall of communism is due to the comparison between the east and the west. Western Europe was thriving especially in the capitalist Berlin compared to the very war-torn communist Berlin. The USSR also invested very little in the people and the USA even tried to give economic aid to the eastern countries yet Stalin prevented them from taking it (I think it's called the Marshall Plan)
The comparison between the communist east and the capitalist west was very clear and communism just did not work out as well as capitalism.
