If America became fully fascist(which it likely will), how long will it last? Well, let's do a little chronology and math. Here are the number of years all the previous fascist nations of the last century lasted:
If we use the mean formula (sum of numbers in set/number of units in set), we get an average of โ15.6 years. So, expect around 16 years of American fascism.
In imperial core nations like America, where the labor aristocracy is numerous, there is very little revolutionary potential since, due to the bourgeois state's and the bourgeois class's immense wealth, can very easily buy off the working class, giving them incentive to not revolt against them. This level of bribery is less possible in third and second world nations since they aren't as wealthy. 1/2
The USSR was implemented as Marx truly intended: overthrow of the bourgeois state, establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat (i.e., socialism, or as Marx put it, the "lower stage of communism"), the gradual abolition of class (which the USSR obviously didn't achieve), and from that the gradual withering away of the state into what Marx called the "higher stage of communism," or just communism. 1/6
Here is Marx himself describing the withering away of the state in chapter 2 of "The Communist Manifesto":
"When, in the course of development, class distinctions have disappeared, and all production has been concentrated in the hands of a vast association of the whole nation, the public power will lose its political character. Political power, properly so-called, is merely the organised power of one class for oppressing another. 2/6
You weren't blocked. Your @ to my message didn't work for some reason. I'm just now seeing your comment. Look at the image below. My @ isn't glowing blue, which means I wasn't notified when you sent your message. Also, I've already seen that crappy video by Anark, and I don't agree with it.
This is a joke, right? You just accused me of rhetorical discrediting, the use of language and arguments to attack a person's character instead of their argument, just for calling Scientific Socialism scientific. You didn't explain why Scientific Socialism isn't scientific, and then proceeded to use rhetorical discrediting on me, Marx, and all Marxists by accusing (with no evidence) that Scientific Socialists... 1/2
Scientific Communism: grounded in historical materialism and offers a rigorous analysis of class struggles, production forces, and social relations
Utopian Communism (a.k.a., Libertarian Communism, a.k.a., Anarcho-Communism): the exact opposite in every way. It lacks a scientific basis, relies on idealism instead of material conditions, and, as a result, is wholly disconnected from reality.
It's more accurate to say "reforms are 'on' the road there," not that they are the road themselves. Reforms should be accepted by workers whenever it can benefit them, but the focus on reforms shouldn't be to benefit only the immediate desires of the working class, but to benefit the overall unification and class consciousness raising of the working class in order for them to be able to eventually overthrow capitalism and establish socialism.
Billionaires are exploiters of the proletariat, detached from the lived experiences of the working masses and driven solely by the pursuit of profit. #socialism#communism#capitalism#anarchism
