Communism. Selections from Marx, Engels, Kropotkin, Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky : Manifesto of the Communist Party, Socialism: Utopian and Scientific, The Conquest of Bread, State and Revolution, Anarchism or Socialism? History of the Russian Revolution

Léon Trotsky, Joseph Stalin, Vladimir Lenin, Peter Kropotkin, Friedrich Engels, Karl Marx

Description

Communism is a left-wing to far-left sociopolitical, philosophical, and economic ideology within the socialist movement, whose goal is the establishment of a communist society, a socioeconomic order centered around common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange that allocates products to everyone in the society. Communist society also involves the absence of private property, social classes, money, and the state. Communists often seek a voluntary state of self-governance but disagree on the means to this end. This reflects a distinction between a more libertarian approach of communization, revolutionary spontaneity, and workers' self-management, and a more vanguardist or Communist party-driven approach through the development of a constitutional socialist state followed by the withering away of the state. As one of the main ideologies on the political spectrum, communism is placed on the left-wing alongside socialism, and communist parties and movements have been described as radical left or far left.
