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.

Leftists are scum

Why don't Communists finally kill themselves?

Because only the intellectuals are purged.

remember to sage

Nifty zinger there lad but if only idiots support communism, why is it that seemingly every single person who opposes it makes strawman arguments or outright has no idea what Communism even IS?

...

>shifting goalposts: the post
>complains about strawman fallacies while committing strawman fallacies: the post

Kill yourself, my man.

I know what Communism is, it's the end goal of a Socialist society with no currency, equality, egalitarianism and no private property but with personal ownership.
It's the complete abolishment of the present state of things while not stressing the details of Communism too much but rather analyze the world as it is to make the revolution happen, either through Marxs entfrenmdung theory or through the Leninist forced overthrow of the bourgeoisie.

Having said that, fuck lefties.

>liberals aren't leftists

He's saying that all communists are idiots, and I am responding asking why so many idiots oppose communism. You could barely argue that this is a shift of the goalposts (in that I didn't focus on how communists aren't idiots), considering this is just an introduction to a argument.
And how is this at all a strawman argument? I haven't even begun to demonstrate the strawman arguments I see daily, or how many people have no idea what Communism is.

You're pretending what I wrote was a full argument, rather than just the introduction to a larger one. That is intellectually lazy.

Learn yourself, my man.

>Taking the sharp edges off of Capitalism is the same thing as wanting the complete overthrow of it.

I hate having to defend lefties but come on America.

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.

In further contrast to previous economic systems, communism would be characterized by the holding of natural resources and the means of production in common as opposed to them being privately owned (as in the case of capitalism) or owned by public or cooperative organizations that similarly restricts their access (as in the case of socialism). In this sense, communism involves the "negation of property" insofar as there would be little economic rationale for exclusive control over production assets in an environment of material abundance.

cute chick

The fully developed communist economic system is postulated to develop from a preceding socialist system. Marx held the view that socialism—a system based on social ownership of the means of production—would enable progress toward the development of fully developed communism by further advancing productive technology. Under socialism, with its increasing levels of automation, an increasing proportion of goods would be distributed freely.

Well color me surprised, usually when people make short one-liners like that I just automatically assume they have no idea what they're talking about. Why do you oppose it then?

>This general is for the discussion of Marxism-Leninism,
No its not. You dont engage in discussions, you just post semi-faggot memes.
You are a fraud, so is communism.

This spain faggot again.Go back to /leftypol/ you fucking loser.

Communism only appeals to the trash of society and intellectuals who could never use their talent to make money or create for themselves an enjoyable career.
Fuck commies and fuck antifa
