@NWoodeSmith Calling subsistence living "poverty" is a neat trick. People used to have direct access to the commons. Capitalism literally had to violently strip away their means of survival through the enclosures just to create a workforce desperate enough to work for a wage.
There is a massive, unbridgeable gap between Marx and Engels' omnivorous study habits or Lenin's declaration that, "You can become a Communist only when you enrich your mind with a knowledge of all the treasures created by mankind," and dogmatic "Marxists" who only read Marxists.
And it is now more than ever clearly a foreseen step of human social evolution. For we have reached a point where it is the only alternative to human extinction. The question becomes not merely communism or capitalism but rather evolve or die.
I agree. Anarchists and communists should have the same transitional as well as end goal, an organized anti-state toward the dissolution of all states.
Debord'un bahsettiği "Devlet Karşıtı Proleterya Diktatörlüğü" daha üstüne durulması gereken bir kavram. Bunun üzerine hem Anarşist hem Marxist tartışma alanları oluşturmak lazım.
Just as the competition between capitalists reproduces capitalism, the
capitalist relations of production, the competition between nation-states reproduces the very capitalist relations of production which underpins their existence.
El horizonte de la revolución comunista no es maximizar el Estado, ni hacerlo mas “justo”, ni más “eficiente”. El objetivo final tiene nombre, Marx lo llamó Gemeinwesen, una asociación mundial de individuos libres.
