ANALYZING A DOCUMENT

• Nearly every nation must choose between
  alternative ways of life. The choice is too often
  not a free one. One way of life is based on the
  will of the majority. . . . The second way of
  life is based upon the will of a minority
  forcibly imposed forced upon the majority. . .
  . I believe that it must be the policy of the
  United States to support free peoples who are
  resisting attempted subjugation conquest by
  armed minorities or by outside pressures. I
  believe that we must assist free peoples to work
  out their own destinies in their own way.

  based on capitalism and democracy, while the
  other was based on the Communist system.
