Something I was pondering today: I realise that Hegel created the notion of dialectical idealism, and how ever synthesis has it's antithesis, etc. Marx, taking the step further, moved the notion of such contrast in human sociology; a response ultimately to the movement of biological ideals (darwinism) to the realm of human social interaction - or social darwinism.

Marx interpreted the synthesis and it's antithesis in class lines. With the establishment of the bourgeoise system, arises it's own antagonism. Now my question is, what is the response to the proletariat in the establisment of a communist society? Marx said himself, that the proletariat and the communists have no distinctions, so what new class will arise against the proletariat, following the establishment of a internationalist communist society?

The communism is the final synthesis.
When there are no classes in communist society, there can't be new anti-thesis.

that's pretty much what I anticipated the answer would be, but I just wanted to make sure.

There will certainly be differences among humans in classless society...perhaps very strong ones involving considerable conflict. Communism is not "Heaven".

But whatever those differences and conflicts turn out to be, they will not be class-based.

I confess a certain amount of curiosity about what they might fight about.
