Legislators attacked union organizers; people who held the idea that working class existed, conflicts with the capitalists, and believed that the working class should challenge the power of capitalists. The attacks began due to increase in living standards; the working class was able to buy homes, cars, and make more money.

Democracy allows for free enterprise and accordingly the economic status of people may vary in a country from very rich to poor. Communism does not allow for private ownership of property . There can be marked many obvious and contrasting points in these two economic systems. In a communist system the whole planning of the economy remains in the hands of the government.
