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.

I legit think the USSR would've been the most democratic society on earth if they just fucking let people actually vote I the Soviets for people other than members of the Communist Party. The idea of voting for representatives through Soviets s such a good idea.

if they made slight modifications to the 1936 constitution and actually followed it, things would've been swell

Perhaps not communism as we know it but capitalism will more than likely not survive the century. When atomic replicators become wide spread and you can turn any matter into anything you want (Philosophers stone on steroids) then arbitrary monetary value will cease to exist.

Russia as it has existed from the early days of Muscovy to today has always been authoritarian. The entire nation is built around the state and protecting it's easily asailable geographic location. It has been invaded from every front many times in it's history and will more than likely never embrace democracy unless it it destoyed and rebuilt. My English teacher told me in 8th grade something I would never forget. She lived 20 of the 30 years of her life in the USSR and coldly said to me, "Democracy just doesn't work for the Russian people. They just need to be told what to do." Easily the smartest woman I ever met.

Well actually poverty is so you could probably say capitalism is the biggest killer

Wouldn't that be exactly how communists envisioned it? Also what makes you think that big banks aren't going out of their way to stop this project so that they could stay in charge?

Daily reminder that communism required identity and personal subjugation to an authoritative centralized entity; you know, that whole thing you all claim to be against. I will enjoy watching the common workers in a communistic government literally cannibalizing others like some fucked up zoo.

Daily reminder that no matter how many times you interchange Communism and Socialism, they still revolve around a centralized entity based in absolution. The problem is, no socialist or communist has an independent thought, because having ideas is dangerous unless you are Dear Leader.

FAQ for washed liberal-morons, kekistani egdelord teenagers and normal people who simply do not know much about communism:

1. Communism is the USSR.
The USSR is a socialist state, not a communist state.

2.1. Why, then, does the Communists all the time refer to the USSR?
Because the USSR is our historical experience of the practical construction of a communist society. We highlight the positive aspects of the experience of the USSR and study the negative experience. It is also worthwhile to understand that the USSR is for us a certain significant Symbol.

2.2 Communism is a dictatorship
Under communism there are no classes, accordingly there is no dictatorship.

3. What about the dictatorship of the proletariat?
The dictatorship of the proletariat is a temporary form of political power called upon to ensure the observance of the rights of the proletariat during the transition from capitalist society to communism.

4. But Stalin ...
With regard to the period of Stalin's rule, we can identify a lot of positive and negative aspects of his activities. But unfortunately, all-round propaganda has distorted the history of this period too much, therefore, without a comprehensive historical analysis of this period, it is impossible to draw unambiguous conclusions on the basis of ALL declassified documents.

5. And yet Stalin ...
We adequately perceive the figure of Stalin and treat him normally and without hysteria. Nevertheless, Stalin - though significant, but by no means the main figure of the communist movement.

6. What is the main figure, if not Stalin?
Marx

7. Ie you are not Communists, but Marxists?
Communism is part of Marx's teaching. At present, Marx's teaching has evolved into many directions. As for the precise definition, the terms "Communist" and "Marxist" often very much depend on the context.

8. Communism is the antithesis of democracy.
By no means. Communism is just a true democracy.
>>
9. Under communism - all work in the Gulag for workdays on 24/7.
On the contrary, the Communists set their task to reduce the number of working hours, by increasing the productivity of labor. Ideally, we should work for 4 hours in fully automated production, the remaining time dedicated to self-development, art, hobby.

10. But wait! This is a capitalistic post-industrial one!
You are deeply mistaken my young friend. This is precisely communism. And under capitalism you will not get it. Communism is the highest stage of development of society and economy and if capitalism is similar to what I described above, then it turns into communism.

And yet Socialism/Communism doesn't promote any form of financial elevation. It doesn't allow individuality or ulterior ideas, which are either swallowed by the state, or put to death for questioning the status-quo structure. Communism isn't democracy, it is mob rule. YOU want to be told what to do, in an environment that promotes individuality and innovation; YOU are just a wash-out re-tread of a re-tread of a re-tread. The capitalist economic system "failed" you, because you are, in essence, a failure.
