کمونیسم تئوری از نحوه ی تولید است که با مالکیت مشترک بر ابزار تولید به همراه نبود طبقات اجتماعی تعریف میشود. این اصطلاح همچنین برای گروه هایی استفاده میشود که هدف نهایی ایشان دستیابی به این نحوه ی تولید است.

فراوانی مادی ناشی از چنین جامعه ای و روابط اجتماعی برقرار در آن را میتوان در این شعار خلاصه کرد: "از هرکس به اندازه توانایی‌اش، به هرکس به اندازه نیازش" شعاری که توسط کتاب نقد برنامه گوتا(1875) نوشته از کارل مارکس رواج یافت.

در اولین جلد سرمایه، مارکس می نویسید "انجمنی از انسان های آزاد که با ابزارهای تولید مشترک به کار میپردازند و نیروی کار فردی شان را (آگاهانه) در حکم یک نیروی کار اجتماعی صرف میکنند"

The Hammer-and-Sickle is the universal symbol of communism and a representation of solidarity between the proletariat working class and the peasantry

ریشه‌شناسی

قبل از مارکس این اصطلاح توسط بسیاری از اعضای سوسیالیست ایده‌عال‌گرا استفاده می شد که جامعه ای آرمان گرا و برابری طلب را توصیف کند.

Its modern usage is almost always traced back to Karl Marx's usage of the term where he introduced the concept of scientific socialism alongside Friedrich Engels. The theory of scientific socialism described communism not as an idealistic, perfect society but rather as a stage of development taking place after a long, political process of class struggle. Marx, however, used the terms socialism and communism interchangeably and he drew no distinction between the two.

Lenin was the first person to give distinct meanings to the terms socialism and communism. The socialism/communism of Marx was now known simply as communism, and Marx's "transitional phase" was to be known as socialism.

Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels

In their seminal and most well-known work, Marx and Engels laid the basic principles of communism in which all future revolutionaries build their principles upon. For one, they acknowledged and made clear that communism, as an ideology had always existed since the rise of the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. They wrote in the famous opening:

A spectre is haunting Europe—the spectre of Communism

To begin with, what we recognise as communism stems from the existence of class struggle. Marx and Engels, through historical and dialectical materialism, write that throughout history, there has always been a class struggle within known society between what we know as the ruling class and the ruled class. In the manifesto, they have given the following examples:

• Freeman and slave
• Patrician and plebeian
• Lord and serf
• Guild-master and journeymen
• Oppressor and oppressed

Even though all communists hold the bourgeoisie to be antagonistic towards the proletariat, and thus considered to be an adversary, Marx and Engels made it clear that the rise of the Bourgeoisie stemmed from their own revolutionary tendencies in overthrowing the feudal classes which in turn, led to the creation of the current contradictions between themselves and the proletariat, or what we know as, the working class.

Communists do not claim to be the first and only parties that advocate and fight for the working class. What Marx and Engels specified in regards to communists are that they recognise the struggles of the working class regardless of nationality. Marx and Engels then proceeded to emphasise was the need of a revolutionary party that would safeguard and fight for the Proletariat. Marx and Engels were resolute that the Communists are the most advanced parties for the proletariat due to their ultimate goals of:

1. Forming the proletariat into a revolutionary class
2. Overthrowing the supremacy of the bourgeoisie
3. Allowing the proletariat into conquest of political power

A common misconception that right-wingers and even some sections of the left have in regard to another aim of communism is the abolition of property. Marx and Engels have already made exceedingly clear in the manifesto that while Communists openly intend to do away with property, they are only interested in doing away with private property which belonged exclusively to the bourgeoisie.

Place in historical materialism

In Marx's theory of historical materialism, communism represents the final mode of production. Each mode of production is defined by its relations of production: the class dynamics, the methods of exploitation, the systems of exchange, the level of development of the means of production, etc. Capitalism is defined by the relationship between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, commonly referred to as a "dictatorship of the bourgeoisie". Socialism is defined by the same relations, but instead it exhibits a "dictatorship of the proletariat". Socialism still has class dynamics and exploitation, but the proletariat is the class on top.

In the Communist Manifesto, Marx and Engels described the evolution of society through the material changes as epochs of history. The relationships between opposing ranks such as patricians, knights, plebeians, slaves, merchants, feudal lords and vassals serve as forces of class antagonism. The current stage or epoch after the demise of feudalism at the hands of capitalism only created new classes and forms of oppression, this time between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat.

Communism has no classes, and therefore no class dynamics. It has no exploitation, and therefore no methods of exploitation. While communism is never meant to be the "end of history", it is certainly the final mode of production as all contradictions of modes of productions have been wiped out.

Material conditions

A communist economy relies on widespread electrification and automation and the mechanization all labour.

Implementation

The implementation of communism became an extremely debated issue after the success of various communist movements. Almost all communist political theory concerns dialectical and historical materialism, socialist transformation and socialist development.

Engels provided some theory about the transition from socialism to communism (now known as the withering away of the state) in Anti-Dühring: الگو:Quote Stalin discusses the topic in his work, Economic problems of socialism in the USSR: الگو:Quote

Communism as an ideology

Communism is sometimes described as a political theory: Marxists have Marxism, Darwinists have Darwinism, and Communists have Communism. This term is usually used by liberals, although some communists have used the term communism this way. To have a better understanding of it, Engels stated that:

Communism is the doctrine of the conditions of the liberation of the proletariat.

— Friedrich Engels, The principles of communism, 1847

Communism as a movement

According to Marx, communism can be defined as the "the real movement which abolishes the present state of things." The communist movement differs from other workers' movements due to its internationalism and because it represents the entire working class.

Communism has also been defined as a movement for the re-humanization and liberation of the exploited and oppressed masses that restores equal rights to all genders and nationalities.
