A variety of different forms of communism have developed, each based upon the ideas of different political theorists, usually as additions or interpretations of various forms of
Marxism, the collective philosophies of
Karl Marx.
[5] Marxism-Leninism is the synthesis of
Vladimir Lenin's contributions to Marxism, such as how a revolutionary party should be organised;
Trotskyism is
Leon Trotsky's conception of Marxism and
Maoism is
Mao Tse Tung's interpretation of Marxism to suit the conditions of China at that time.
Communist theory generally states that the only way to solve the problems existing within capitalism is for the
working class, referred to as the proletariat, who is the main producer of wealth in society and is exploited by the capitalist class, as explained in theories such as
surplus value, to replace the bourgeoisie as the ruling class to establish a society without class divisions, called socialism, as a prelude to attempting to achieve the final stage of communism.
[1]
Pure communism, or the stage in history after socialism, refers to a classless, stateless society, one where decisions on what to produce and what policies to pursue are made in the best interests of the collective society with the interests of every member of society given equal weight in the practical
decision-making process in both the political and economic spheres of life. Karl Marx, as well as some other communist philosophers, purposely never provided a detailed description as to how communism would function as a social system. In the
Communist Manifesto, Marx lays out a 10-point plan advising the redistribution of land and production to begin the transition to communism.
The origins of communism are debatable, and there are various historical groups, as well as theorists, whose beliefs have been subsequently described as communist. Some theorists have considered
hunter-gatherer societies to adhere to a form of
primitive communism, whilst historical figures like
Plato and
Thomas More have been described as espousing early forms of the ideology. The communist movement as it is known today largely took shape in the nineteenth century, when it was developed.
[5] In the twentieth century, revolutions led to openly communist governments taking power in many countries, leading to the creation of states like the
Soviet Union, the
People's Republic of China and the
Republic of Cuba.
In modern usage, communism is often used to refer to the policies of these governments, which were one party systems operating under
centrally planned economies and a state ownership of the
means of production. Most of these governments based their ideology on
Marxism-Leninism. These governments did not call the system they had set up "communism", instead claiming that they had set up a transitional socialist system. This system is sometimes referred to as
state socialism. Many, including those on the left, argue that these states never made an attempt to transition to a communist society, while others even argue that they never achieved socialism.
In the 20th and 21st centuries, democratic elections led to communist and communist-inspired governments being elected in other parts of the world such as
Bolivia and
Venezuela. Today, although communism is a less influential political force compared to what it was in much of the twentieth century,
[6] there are still powerful communist and aligned socialist movements in many parts of the world, especially southern Asia and South America, and since the
economic crisis of 2008 there has been a resurgence of interest in communist theory, especially the theories of Karl Marx.
