This is a fundamental misunderstanding of Marxism. While a communist society is indeed classless, it can only be achieved when there is no need for a state to defend the people from capitalist reaction, ie when communism is the globally dominant system. Until then, communist counties practice socialism, where the state is controlled by the working class, with the goal of increasing global worker power and eventually achieving the conditions where communism can exist.
Marxism has never existed outside of mental exercise. Every single time it has been imposed it has failed to do anything but act as a rhetoric for power and control. We desperately need something modern to look up to and we should drop Marxism in the dustbin of failed historical movements. A great idea for its time.
Ahistorical and incorrect. Marxism has never been more relevant.
Sure whatever you say /s
Marxist doctrine is omnipotent because it is scientific and hence it is the TRUTH.
You are speaking of it being more along the lines of religion. I reject this. He had some interesting things to say for his time and that is about it. We desperately need something modern and frankly Marxism fanatics are never going to move the needle.
the fact that something was written 150 years ago doesnt make it outdated, you have to prove with facts as to why you think its outdated. Something isnt always something better
We either go marxist, or we perish.
But it does, listen to yourself. 150 years ago still relevant to this day! A lot has changed since then and no one cares about Marx except fanatics. The time has passed and you need something new to remain relevant.
"No one cares about marx"
buddy, the whitehouse is putting up deranged tweets against communism and kamal herself called trump a communist dictator. Communism is very well alive
Where is communism alive!? Please just stop now, if your proof is the deranged postings of Trump's staff then you are not going to convince me or anyone else.
Its well alive I am in a communist party myself and we actively organize workers and oppressed people
and there are thousands of parties with millions of volunteers like us around the globe
not to mention the maoist factions who are engaging in guerilla wars
It exists as mental excercise in your head I suppose. Well, good luck with that. Peace be with you.
you rarely see one of these guys admit their core belief lol
