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 achieve 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. marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/11/prin-com.htm marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/

Never really understood the communist obsession with automation. Why support communism just because automation is rising? Why not support distributism? Or fascism? Both of those handle automation far better than communism does. I just don't get it.

Because communism only "works" in a post-scarcity society. It's the only thing they have left and they will fuck it up as well.

It's a way to fantasize that allows them to dream about an utopian society where nobody works and they get to live for free masturbating in their bedrooms. That's the appeal of automation.
But basically, without value, without costs, you are incapable of automating anything without collapsing with your society. You don't know whether the cost of making a machine is greater than the profits from a lifetime of its work like in a capitalist society, in the end the communist system would just waste itself into collapse and everyone would become instantly piss poor.
