Communism proposes that social control of economic life is desirable, including social control over the means of production and ownership of consumer goods (contrast this with the Socialist position). Communism proposes revolution and the violent overthrow of capitalist society. According to M. A. Mannan in Islamic Economics Theory and Practice, communism is based upon threee doctrines: a) the natural order, an essentially utopian ideal of how the world should be; b) Manichaeism, the view of human history as a struggle between good and evil forces, and; c) Marxism, the theory that economic forces determine the social and political structure of society.
