@slmrcs i fully agree to your last sentence!

@Hasshasser Lenin was a radical break from Marx - and you definition is Leninism, and that quote is used out of context from Marx. He's describing a sort of group libertarianism - I have my own problems with this. Back to your statement - Marx was never clear on his future vision - and was grappling with problems of the 19th century. It's 150 years past, some things we can learn from Marx, but we must also update/re-evealuate ideas to current technology

What he describes here as Marxism isn't Marxism at all, since the way he described that leads to communism is Socialism, organized as Dictatorship of the Proletariat by an elite, unified under one Eliteparty. The Enterprises he describes have more in common with Anarchocommunism as described by Kropotkin, who was not at all revered by Marx/Engels and the Communist Manifesto evangelics.

A moneyless,classless,stateless communities of humanity expressing our freedom in creative harmonious cooperation for a world that is so POTENTIALLY AND ACTUALLY nourishing. Capitalism in any form, Statist or Corporatist is the denial of our common humanity in a politically manipulated,tyrannical armed MARKET SYSYTEM of artificial scarcity that is designed to perpetuate the enslavement of immense humanity for material interest of the criminal ruling elite.
