What is Communism?
Communism is a political and economic system in which the means of production, distribution, and exchange are commonly owned and equally distributed. It is a system based on the principle of “to each according to his capacity” and “to each according to his needs”. It is the last stage of socialism.
It is based on the teachings of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in their book, The Communist Manifesto.
The highest degree of socialism is achieved where there is a classless societyThe term society is derived from the Latin word 'socius' meaning friendship or companionship. Society is a community, nation or group of people who share the same traditions, institutions, rules and... More based on equality and this will be achieved through revolution, use of force and violence in the “class struggle”. And the state withers away one day and the workers and peasants will rule themselves without the state. No state has reached this stage.
The slogan of communism is:
From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.
Karl Marx
