Comment on What's the difference between communism and socialism?
grte@lemmy.ca 10 months agoYou are mistaken. Socialism is worker owned means of production. Communism is a theoretical stateless, classless, moneyless society that Marx theorized would eventually form from the conditions of socialism (AKA dictatorship of the proletariat).

Does communism really only have this one meaning defined by marx? At least to me that sounds stoopid to let one guy define something that could be a spectrum

I mean, he wrote the book(s) that started the whole ideology. Why would we want one word to mean a bunch of different ideologies? Pick a new word for the other ideas.

No, there have been many theorists after Marx who added their own thoughts. Marx came up with it though so his influence is great.
