Communism general

Hello Comrades. This general is for the discussion of Marxism-Leninism, the ideology of revolutionary socialism and communism.

Communism is the next stage of humanity following the capitalist stage.

What exactly is communism according to Marxist-Leninists:

>Communism is a stage of society in which the productive infrastructure is socially owned, and goods are produced not in order to sell for profit, but in order to meet a social need.

>Communism in it's full form is a stateless, classless society that follows the maxim "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need."

>To acheive such a society Marxism-Leninism teaches us that we must replace the capitalist state, which is controlled by the capitalist class, by a socialist state, which is controlled by the working class. Then, a period of class struggle follows in which the capitalist class is liquidated by the working class. When the capitalist class has been completely vanquished, there will be only one class, the working class, and eventually the functions of the state will become indistinguishable from the functions of the society as a whole, and the state as such will 'wither away' as Marx said.

ML uses a philosophy called dialectical materialism, see here:

It is reccomended that you read some of the critical works of Marxism-Leninism so you can make an informed assessment of the ideology.

im a lefty but trying recruit with this general doesnt work. Even the /hrc/ generals worked better than this

>>Communism in it's full form is a stateless, classless society
No society is classless. Even in anarchy, certain people will yield disproportionate power whether its due to diplomatic maneuvering or raw strength. This person will have trusted friends who have more influence than those under them.

Similarly, any society which is stateless by definition has a power vacuum which is inevitably resolved. To ensure a state does not arise, it is necessary to have a group which will enforce this statelessness, and by doing so, you give them elevated privileges and create a classful society, contradicting the definition you give of communism. This means that a truly communist society is both theoretically and in practice, impossible to exist.

No society in all of history has ever been classless, and no modern society with living standards better than the stone age is stateless, not even your faux communist societies which have failed repeatedly because of their insistence on refusing reality and fighting against the natural order of a hierarchical society. The only difference between each failed attempt at a communist society is the zealousness which its ideologues have pursued this fairy tale, and the degree of suffering it results in, from gulags to Holodomor to political persecution to mass starvation. The only redeeming trait of a communist society is that it kills communists.

Why comrade?

Be kind m8, hes a hormonal teenager, he'll pass puberty sooner or later.

A communist economic system would be characterized by advanced productive technology that enables material abundance, which in turn would enable the free distribution of most or all economic output and the holding of the means of producing this output in common. In this respect communism is differentiated from socialism, which, out of economic necessity, restricts access to articles of consumption and services based on one's contribution.
