Newton talked about the acceleration of the apple. Not it's falling. He wanted mass, weight and gravity to serve the motion of apples. He didn't call for their falling to Earth in their entirety
this person seems to have misunderstood Marx's comments about how capitalism lays the groundwork for socialism, they're expressing it badly but if you restrict this to the primary stage of socialism I could see how they got mixed up
None of what they said is true about lower stage communism either though
No, because they've made a huge fucking error and equated capital and capitalism. Capital itself is just an economic tool to be wielded, capitalism is a way that the tool is wielded against the working class.
Could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that capital, at least in the Marxist sense, doesn't exist under communism
Not under communism, but expropriation of capital and utilization of existing economic structures is a part of the lower stages. Marx mentioned that in the Civil War in France. He missed about the idea of the revolutionaries sizing the treasury and utilizing it to further their goals, but understood that because the commune was a truly proletarian movement they didn't concern themselves with the capital housed there because they had no use for it.
However, the leveraging of that capital would have likely helped them maintain their power in the face of reaction. That's how most AES states have operated since.
DotP =/= lower stage communism though, they're distinct stages
Well in lower stage communism/socialism you by definition are not in a Dictatorship of the Bourgois so its understandable that people will call any workers post revoliutionary state construction Dictatorship of the Proletariat cause its ,as a description, true
If you've reached the point where class no longer exists (i.e. communism), there is no proletariat for there to be a dictatorship of
That's not what the "lower stages of communism" as Marx used the term are though. That's what the higher stages of communism are.
Afaik Marx says that's characteristic of communism, of which the lower stage is a part. The DotP is a separate phase and still has class, a state, etc. If you can find where Marx says otherwise, please do and tell me, but from what I've read of him, this isn't the case.
Yeah that's definitely true. Same sort of thing applies to religion (in his view, that is. I'm not sure I necessarily agree)
Depends how you define it I suppose, but I'd be very surprised if it ever went away
Also important to note that the withering away isnt just like a timer you set that steadily ticks down and forces you to deconstruct the state or else betray communism, the state is a tool that can be done away with when its usefulness against capitalism and the bourgeoise is exhausted.
Marx talked about the sublation of capitalism, NOT the domlation. Checkmate commies.
:shapiro-gavel:For every take that is satire there is the same take but not satire. It's basic dialectics 🙄
The word Aufheben and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race
This is probably a satire but the idea that capitalism is when capital is shockingly common.
