Forwarded from The Communist Horizon

Communism is NOT:

- Amount of property the state owns
- Policies that the state makes
- In short, it's not state
- It is not symbology
- It's not a party name or a name in the Constitution
- In short, it's not aesthetics

All of the above exists in capitalist countries, whether to a greater or lesser degree.

Oh, and communism isn't "equality" in abstract either. And the fact that there has been a revolution somewhere doesn't necessarily make it communist.

Concretely, communism is the negation of capitalism, in other words: it is the end of property, the end of commodity production (the end of value), the end of wage labor, the end of classes, the end of the state. And the emergence of a new mode of production from this negation.
