IS there social class in communism??

Question

how does it work

Answer 1

According to communist theory, there are two main social classes:
First there is the working class, consisting of the workmen and labourers who are exploited by their capitalist bosses.
Then there is the bourgeoisie, the capitalists. They just profit from the work of their employees and are seen as the enemies of the working class. They should be extinguished or re-educated.
In the ideal communist society there are no classes anymore. Everybody works, not for the money, but to be a useful member of society.
The members of the communist party are supposed to make the working class realize that the capitalists exploit them, and get them to revolt. Members of the communist party have to convince the people to form the ideal communist state and have to fight against the capitalists with all possible means. Marx and Lenin knew that the ideal state couldn't be created in one day. For some time, the communist party would have to rule the state to subdue the last capitalist resistance, to re-educate the people, and to convince them to become useful members of society.
This gives the communist party absolute power in the communist countries, and, like Acton said: power tends to corrupt, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Answer 2

Of course there is a set of social classes, not much different than those in a democratic society. Primarily you just leave out the middle class. There are always rich people feeding off of the work the poor perform. The Utopian theory doesn't work, I mean the USSR was huge, powerful, and as communist as it gets, and they finally figured out it was a flawed system. Democracy and freedom are far from perfect, but it beats communism hands down.

Answer 3

In communism, the government owns EVERYTHING and is very powerful.
However, all the profits and capita raked in by the industries is distributed equally among the people.
Industrialization and militarization are common communist factors. One to keep the state on its feet, one to fight for it.
Everything builds up to the communist leader, but such almost absolute power easily gives way to tyrany and dictatorship.

Ideally and conceptually, communism is SUPPOSED to be the perfect social infrastructure. Everybody has a job and a fair, equal profit. No rich people, no poverty. Strong industry secures the economy and a ready, massive, and powerful military force to secure the nation.

Answer 4

For the ideal state that it sounds like, in theory it is good. Everyone owns everything and are equal in all things. the small problem is we don't all think alike nor do we want or like the same things. Therefore, someone has to be put in charge. Well, being human as we are that person or group of people want to be in control and often go on a power trip. So the positive side of all of us being the same and it sounded all good. Instead, it limits our individuality.

Answer 5

In the ideal communist society there are no classes anymore. Everybody works, not for the money, but to be a useful member of society.
this is only theory.
communism failed due to these social classes.
