the 'left' is a very broad idea, encompassing hundreds of different ideologies. All of them will vary in their theory, praxis and goals. There's very little that unites the ideas of different movements 'on the left' except a history of constant conflict. Even of the broadest concepts of what 'communism' entails there is no real agreement between marxists and anarchists, anarchists and anarchists, marxists and marxists.
Everyone here disagrees with one another since we all support a large variety of both overlapping and conflicting philosophical/political/economic positions.
What exactly is it that you folks want?
I want labor to be the sole social unit of measurement. Capitalism is not about working hard, it is a hierarchical system based on class and status. It is not about labor but more about luck and happenstance
Why don't you buy Das Kapital vol 1 & 2 by Marx and find where it all started from, to ease your confusion. After all, it definitely sounds like you're someone who reads :v)
This is the biggest meme. It’s never been a Marxist position to accept formal equality. Marx explicitly rejects this in the Critique of the Gotha program and there has been no major Marxist theorist who has advocated for this sort of childish “equality”.
My ideal system is one in which everyone has to do complex physical labour a few days per week while also studying and graduating in order to take care of the intellectual labour. Money, free market, commodities, they all end.
My ideal system is one in which there is a women's only special forces army in order to protect the women of my nation.
My ideal system is one in which someone who unironically talks about positivelly about Pinochet is immediatelly shot down.
If no one is equal why should their material outcomes be the same?
Why is even justifiable to presuppose that the two should be linked?
They aren't. "Too each according to their ability and need" summarize the society quite nicely. Genetic problems are considered medical problems and medical problems don't equate to material harm upon them, be it finnancial or otherwise.
You just fit another peg to its own shaped hole. Capitalism attempts to push a triangle peg, into a circular hole.
It doesn't work in the end, and causes unnecessary amounts of preventable suffering, misery, and death.
But this will be more clear to you as we progress into the 21st century. At some point you will realize this, I would hope
We want Star Trek my duder
Because that is the way of the world and anything else is trying to impose an Ideology on biology and just generally reality and it's function.
