The correct answer is C. Both Marx and Hegel agreed that competition was inimical to building the ideal society.

Explanation:

Marx and Hegel were the main ideological drivers of communism, beginning to develop this political theory in the 1800s. Both were based on the belief that a perfect society should be homogeneous, that is, without social classes or distinctions among its members. Therefore, they sought the rupture of the concept of social classes, thus achieving a single uniform and egalitarian class where all its members would have the same rights and obligations: the working class. In order to achieve its objective, it was necessary to break the competitive thinking of capitalism, to reach a criterion of collaboration and community, where the means of production and the applied workforce were a common good, and not an object that became in reason of fight between the members of society.

since most of current immigration into the u.s., both legal and illegal, is coming from latin america. it would be very difficult to imagine or rationalize a country my fellow citizens are trying desperately to flee into, would pose a threat to my prosperity or freedom. since the u.s. has a long history of intervention, but no record of permanent occupation, i would not feel oppression is the main objective.  

the largest free trade nation, along with the largest gdp in the world wanting to expand it's economic policy on us, and including us, could only be positive. the u.s. government has no interest in, or way of simply forcing american culture on us. and has no track record of it. other nations that adopted american social culture, or "americanization" did so voluntarily, mainly through the choice of allowing american businesses and u.s. citizens to come into their nations, as free operatives.
