Marxism [Theme]

The sacrament of life and death and torment - including the religious one ... is something that Marxism does not want to ponder over. But these questions have always been and will always be the most important for a person.

Marx was wrong not because he was wrong in theory, but precisely because he was right.
What is this mistake and why did he come to what is now widely recognized as false? Not at all because the West did not reach the point of revolution, although the capitalism described by Marx has survived. Marx was wrong, and not because the capitalism he described did not exist at all (as was often and eagerly repeated in the 19th century). Marx was mistaken precisely because, firstly, capitalism in his time was exactly as he described it, and, secondly, because this capitalism itself was able to resolve the economic shortcomings or "contradictions" discovered by Marx and described by him. Moreover, he did it in the direction indicated by Marx himself, not only in a "revolutionary" or "dictatorial", but in a peaceful and democratic way.

We have no hostile relations between superior and subordinate. We have no conflict between those who think or who are forced to think that he is exploited, and those who play the role of exploiter. If we allow to captivate themselves into a trap primitive Marxist concepts of class struggle, with Singapore would be done.

Marxism is a science and like any science, he changes over time. In any science there are basic provisions that over time are not obsolete, and there are provisions that are supplemented; and there are theories which over time are rejected. Private property and the functioning of the market - as relevant as one hundred years ago, and now. The crisis of overproduction as it was, remained. The imperialist war as a response to the protracted crisis of capitalism - also in place. Despite all what happened during these hundred years, has not changed importantly. Has not changed the economic basis, which is based on the appropriation of the results of work of a narrow group of persons. And this is practically the only basis on which are based all the strategic principles of Marxism.

What is a Communist? It's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And who is anti-Communist? It is someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
