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.

ML uses a philosophy called dialectical materialism, see here:

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

>If I pretend that literally everything that is not communism is capitalism maybe this will make libertarianism look bad!
>adding the numbes up, just two of the biggest communist famines outdone 200 years of random totalitarian systems.
>"well fugg :DD"
Delusional commies emphasize so much on crony totalitarian states in an attempt to trick others into believing that's the alternative to communism, except there's a funny kicker here; communism can't even compete against the cronyiest systems imaginable. In the previous century almost all non communist countries had price controls of everything, completely wrecking their own economy, and it was still better than communism.
Communism can't even compete against the shittiest non-communist systems. Let alone compete against a hyper libertarian western system.

communism isn't that bad when you attribute every single death not caused by it to capitalism.
Communism can be perfectly described by this

>Multiple generations of commies trying to outdo western civilization by rejecting free markets and private economic growth
>Eventually realize that western capitalist societies are ten times better than them
>Inadvertently entire culture becomes white supremacist and perceives themselves to be inferior
KEK
Communism already suffered the most humiliating defeat imaginable.
