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 and the socialist 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/
It's interesting because the USSR criminalized homosexuality etc. but the KGB promoted "gay liberation" to undermine other countries. They knew that filth was poison.
What do you do as a marxist if you find materialism is empirically false? Kochen Specker theorem implies value definiteness doesn't hold, only when observed does the wave function collapse to particle behavior in that context. If this is the case realism doesn't hold and therefore materialism is false as well. All marxist theory is asserted based on the assumption of materialism. Is there any way around this, or does quantum mechanics mean we are stuck with free market capitalism?
