US vs USSR

United States type of government (capitalism) is pretty much a polar opposite to the Soviet Union’s government (communism). There are so many differences in many different areas, such as: Trade, Industry, Agriculture, and payment methods.

There is a metaphor used to compare these two types of governments is used with cows.  A capitalism government is compared to this phrase – “You have two cows, and then you sell one and buy a bull.” This means that our society always wants the best they can get at the best price and value, and the freedom of the people. A communist government however is compared to this phrase – “You have two cows, you have to take care of them and then the government takes all of the milk. This means that you work and work, and the government gets all the money and product you make. And you don’t have much freedom of businesses and money.

There are also huge differences in trade policies. The United States purpose in trading is to trade with as many countries as they can, whereas the Soviet Union’s aim is to trade with only other communist countries. The U.S. also likes to defend many countries for an opportunity to open up trade with them. Then again, the U.S.S.R is very self-sufficient so they are very able to trade with few countries.

What is containment? Containment is recognized the possible fact that Eastern Europe was already lost to communism. Therefore, the US had to resist the Soviet Union's attempts to form communist government elsewhere in the world.
