Law Homework Help

I’m working on a criminal justice discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Discussion post: Karl Marx believed that crime was a result of the frustrating working class, and to solve the problem of crime the economy must be made “fair” for everyone. Thus, he proposed capitalist society must be overturned in favor of socialism (also regarded as communism). What are some countries today that have a communist government? What effects has history shown socialism/communism to have on a nation? Does it lead to economic prosperity or corruption?
