Question: What objective must be achieved during the dictatorship of the proletariat?

After the entire objective achieved during dictatorship of the proletariat, then the state will wither away or what?

Does it work when there are surrounding states that opposed to communism?

What objective must be achieve before the dictatorship of the proletariat begin?

Is anarcho-syndicalism part of anarchism? Then all little branch that have anarcho- or anarchism in their name (except for anarcho-capitalism) are part of under anarchist party?


Can someone clarify me about the relationship or display conceptual ideas between the political branches?

Which political branches argue for individualism and which argue for collectivism?

I actually have a research project and it is about revolutionary leftist, I got 9 page to write and 1 page of reference, this is critical to pass my English 4 class.

Most leftists (Anarchists aside) will say that the only way to achieve Communism is through a transitionary stage called Socialism.

Now if one country, that fits the criteria of being Socialist, whilst being surrounded by Capitalist states, wishes to become Communist, it simply cant when there are still Capitalist states in existence and the majority of countries in the world follow a Capitalist economic model.

The Socialist state needs to spread the revolution to the point where a significant minority or majority of the world is under a Socialist economic and political system, whatever that may be (Cue debate between Orthodox Marxists, Leninists, Stalinists, Trotskyists, Maoists, etc:D).

Therefore the objective of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat in one country, is to spread their revolution until most of the world is Socialist and Capitalism is destroyed, then they can get on to building Communism.

Of course this would only be the case in a Socialism in one country style situation, where there was only one revolution limited to a specific region of the world, instead of globally.

If there is a global revolution, in which the leftists win, then the chances are that Socialism wont be needed as a transitionary stage, because the whole world would be under the control of the workers (Instead of being limited to one small region of the world like has happened in the past with all self described Socialist states).

I dont think that answers most of your points, but it covers some of them and i hope that it helps you in some way.
