A few questions

[comradeRed:)]

Hey comrades! I have a few questions about communism that i cant find the answers for. LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION!

1- In a communist state like the former USSR was there any money or did people just work to get food, clothes etc.?

2- ( Marx stated abolish "private property and inheritance" however do you inherite anything after the person dies?)

3- In the former USSR did people have the right to practice their religon?

Regards,
Comrade Omar :)

I'm just going to hit this one right now before someone else does.

There is no such thing as a Communist State. Communism is a classless society, government divides society into classes.

I'm not a huge history buff, so I can't really answer for #1 and #3, but as for #2, i think you answered your own question...

1- In a communist state like the former USSR was there any money or did people just work to get food, clothes etc.?

There was money in the USSR. This is because the USSR did not develop quite enough to abolish commodity production. However the economy of the USSR was centrally planned, and did not operate on the basis of private ownership and market competition. So the money being circulated did not count as private accumulation of wealth.


2- ( Marx stated abolish "private property and inheritance" however do you inherite anything after the person dies?)Inheritance of private property, is not the same as inheritance of personal property. The idea is to abolish inheritance of ownership of private property; for example the offspring of a business owner inheriting the enterprise, or the offspring of a land lord inheriting the properties rented out.



3- In the former USSR did people have the right to practice their religon?Of course. What was not allowed was interference by any religion in politics or state affairs. Churches were not private property, because there was no private property.

1. there was money, it was "to each according to work done"

2. You don't inherite private property, you can inherite possesions.

3. by law, yes, in practice, not really.

There is something known as a Communist State and the USSR was an example of one. A communist state is a state that works towards communism, or as I like to say, socialism and democracy. Although my definition may differ somewhat in how I see communism, it does not change that the term communist state carries plenty of meaning and weight. It isn't even incorrect to just leave out the state part, and call it communist even though it has not achieved communism.

"Communist state" is contradictory, how many more times does this need to be said?

I dunno, how many more times does it need to be said that the term "Communist State" has a legitimate meaning that we shouldn't be afraid to use simply because it is oxymoronic.

Oddly enough, you are the first communist I've heard to claim that.
