The first nation to become democratic was the Corsican Republic in 1755. However, it did not last long and the first modern nation to establish an official democratic system was France.

For each of the needs, the government will provide for those needs through advancements in technology and for everyone to be able to use it. Communism is both a political and social ideology.
