Marxism: Difference between revisions

[[File:Ormarxf.png]] '''Marxism''', modernly commonly called [[File:Ormarxf.png]] '''Orthodox Marxism''' or [[File:Ormarxf.png]] '''Classical Marxism''', also called [[File:ScientificSoc.png]] '''Scientific Socialism'''<ref>https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1880/soc-utop/index.htm</ref> or [[File:Ormarxf.png]] '''Marxist Socialism''', is an economically far-left, culturally variable but generally progressive ideology that is based on the analysis and ideology of [[File:Ormarxf.png]] Karl Marx and [[File:Orengelsf.png]] Friedrich Engels, and looks to achieve a [[File:Commie.png]] communist (stateless, classless, moneyless) society. According to [[File:Ormarxf.png]] Marx and [[File:Orengelsf.png]] Engels, in a [[File:Commie.png]] communist society, nationality<ref name=":0">https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/11/prin-com.htm</ref>, families<ref>https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/ch02.htm</ref>, property, commodities, division of labor<ref name=":0" />, cities and countryside, religion, ideology, and markets would be abolished or become obsolete and fade away. Communism operates on the principle "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need". Marxists believe that due to inherent contradictions in the [[File:Cap.png]] capitalist mode of productions, material conditions will become so bad that there will be a proletarian revolution which will create a [[File: Soc-h.png]] socialist state that transitions to a communist society.

Another thing worth noting is that Marxism does not differentiate between [[File: Soc-h.png]] "socialism" or [[File:Commie.png]] "communism" very much, calling them "lower- stage [[File:Commie.png]] Communism" and "higher- stage [[File:Commie.png]] Communism" respectively, and the different names for those stages is an idea that his son [[File:Orthlen.png]] [[Leninism]] came up with. What is consistent, however, is that both [[File:Commie.png]] communism and [[File: Soc-h.png]] socialism are stateless and classless, with only the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, preceding both, requiring a "commune state" akin to the [[File:Cball-France.png]] Paris Commune at most. The only times he differentiates between the two is when referingreferring to [[File: Soc-h.png]] socialist tendencies he disagrees with, such as [[File:Mutalist.png]][[Mutualism|"Proudhonian socialism"]] or [[File:Reactsoc.png]][[Reactionary socialism|"reactionary socialism"]].[[File:Engels drawing of the Young Hegelians .jpg|thumb|A sketch by Fredrich Engels of the young Hegelians.]]
