Different political parties - Misconception

[Moskitto]

People have misconceptions that under communism only 1 party can exist because all over parties seek to destroy communism.

Well how many Capitalist ideologies are there? Liberals, Conservatives, Fascists, Neo-Liberals, Nationalists, Republicans. There are hundreds of different political parties that exist, Although they are all capitalist they want different things.

Likewise there are hundreds of different forms of socialism, Council Communists, Leninists, Anarchists, Stalinists, Shactmanites to name but a few.

Now if capitalist parties being present would destroy a socialist state, why are there socialist parties in governments which haven't destroyed capitalism? So why wouldn't the same thing work the other way round?

youre right

"Now if capitalist parties being present would destroy a socialist state, why are there socialist parties in governments which haven't destroyed capitalism? So why wouldn't the same thing work the other way round?"

As Marx and Engels observed in the Manifesto:

"[The bourgeoisie] compels all nations, on pain of extinction, to adopt the bourgeois mode of production; it compels them to introduce what it calls civilization into their midst, i.e., to become bourgeois themselves. In one word, it creates a world after its own image."

Capitalism, by its very nature, needs to expand constantly. We have seen that, in times when this expansion is prohibited, recession follows.

Why can't it be the other way around? This is why. Verily, while socialism offers the promise of a homeostatic economy, capitalism gives us just the opposite.

sometimes it will be the other way around

[Moskitto]

you've got a point there Vox because there aren't many people who still support fuedelism. Well about 4.

But being realistic, the left (not new labour rubbish) are in the minority. So if we united behind one banner as a political party then we would be able to make much more of an influence then we would as individuals.

El Commandante, please defin the 'left' and say what the advantages of unite are.
how big would the support be?
