Here to learn.

Hello

I do not identify with any specific political ideology, but I know My political beliefs are on mid right high right wing spectrum. With this you many consider that I am a troll, but I can assure you this is not the case. The title of the post says it all. I am here to learn. Generally I have only encountered left winged persons on twitter, facebook, and Not many but on forums. When I run into these lefts they always want to debate. Not all of them, but the majority of them. Well in my case I don't want to debate. I want to have a conversation.

Why would I want to have a conversation? Because I want to understand with a deep knowledge why it is these leftist ideas are in existence, and what could they possibly be used for. For what I know from these people who I can say are mostly full of themselves, I have learned communism in Marx's eyes is a three phase process where a revolution is in place to overthrow the system. Then there is a dictator ship setup to get rid of currency via a socialist system? Then communism is in place after currency is done away with..

Is this right? And if this is right. I have a pretty simple question for you.

This question is simple, but the answer should be dynamic.

How can we exist on a large scale without currency as value?

And why a revolution?

First question: Humans don't need currency to exist or to survive. People will live and die just the same without it. We want to get rid of it because we want equality for all. Money simply ensures the division of people into classes and allows certain people to hoard wealth and resources while others are forced to go without. This results in the vast majority of people on earth wasting their lives away trying to survive, rather than reaching their full potential as human beings.

Second question: Very simple answer: People with power will not relinquish it voluntarily.

On the dictatorship of the proletariat, the use of the word dictatorship means "the rule of". DotP is contrasted to the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, the current state of affairs. DotP doesn't mean the rule of a single leader or oligarchy, but the rule of the entire working class.

To me, DotP is a transitional period in which the proletariat removes the bourgeoisie from power. It is akin in a civil war, but on a global scale.

The revolution is necessary because the class system is being uprooted and destroyed.

My words don't do justice to the actual theory, and I'm not going to pretend that I know everything. The best way to learn is to engage in the literature. Marxists internet archive is a wonderful resource for learning. I can't post links because of the forum policy, but you can easily find the website using a search engine.

The thing is, unless you specify why you think "currency as value" (neither currency nor value exist in communism) is necessary for the human species, any answer will be simple groping in the dark (a fun activity, sometimes, but not one enjoyed by people on the "mid right high right spectrum", I imagine). We will produce things because, hey, starving naked in the dark is no fun at all, but instead of monetary calculation determining what is produced human society will associate to directly produce those things which are necessary for human existence and free development. But that's a sketch of an answer, because we don't know what specifically you find objectionable about that.

A revolution is necessary to smash the bourgeois state, clearing the way for a proletarian dictatorship and the transformation of all social relations.
