Do Marxist-Leninists really want International Government?

[Cameron]

I was doing some research on Marxist-Leninism, as I wanted to know more about it. I am a socialist, I know some stuff about communism as I was briefly a communist, but I'm not an expert.

I was reading about Marxist-Leninism on Wikipedia, and it states:


promotes the creation and development of an international communist society

Do Marxist-Leninists really want to make an international government? Or does it mean it wants all independent countries to be communist?

[Comrade Jacob]

Not one government but good cooperation between Leninist governments until they wither away.

[TheIrrationalist]

Isn't that what all communists want? Communism is an international society, not an international government. State doesn't exist in communist society.

[MarxEngelsLeninStalinMao]

Partially yes. There needs to be a world revolution before we can reach communism, but there will be no government in communism because it becomes unnecessary and will wither away. I hope you understand what I mean, I'm not quite sure about the quality of my English.

They want to establish state capitalist dictatorships. They don't understand Marx's critique of political economy, and think that the continuation of value production is socialism. They're a warped bunch.

Don't worry. You have great english.

However, do you think the leninist states should form into one before communism.

[motion denied]

The hell is a 'leninist state'?

Hi there,

Communism by definition is a international classless and stateless society. The state is an organ of class rulership, so no, Marxists of any stripe do not want a international government - we want communism.

It is imperative that you do not buy into the bourgeois definition of communism (big, totalitarian gubberment with a command economy), which they have turned into a form of intellectual dishonesty to discredit communism and promote neo-liberal economics as being the only system that can work. But it's all Cold War politics rubbish.
