>>2533083>>2533278Have you ever considered reading communist texts to draw your own conclusions, or are you simply fed a regurgitated rhetoric of demonization against communists, attacking a straw man whose point of view you've never seen? Scientific socialism, unlike other political theories that pretend to be eternal, emerged historically with capitalism and the formation of the proletariat as the bourgeoisie rose to power. It allows us to better analyze the society that was forming with the irreconcilable antagonistic interests of the proletariat and capitalist social classes. The proletariat sells its labor power, while the capitalist extracts its surplus value, seeking profit in the market. Class interests are opposed to each other; unemployment becomes a weapon to discipline workers and intensify exploitation, while workers want job security to be able to receive the means to meet their needs. There is a contradiction between the use value that the consumer desires and the worker needs for their life, and the capitalist's vision, which only sees goods being compared in the market, profiting, and receiving more capital that will be used for further accumulation of more capital.
Read the introduction to scientific socialism, and you won't see a fantasy that claims real capitalism was an eternal, ahistorical meritocracy, and suddenly the state, Jews, globalists, Satanists, "degenerates", "the elite", communists, leftists, inferior races, or any other scarecrow invented against the "poor innocent entrepreneurs" who are not cheating, unlike these corporatists or big capitalists, and that if they are eliminated, this will be resolved. Worse, is the fantasy of meritocracy as a justification of the capitalist class, just as the divine right of kings justified feudalism and manorialism so that the so-called "inferior masses" don't fight for their rights and don't follow their class interests, because otherwise they are envious of their "superiors."
Today's financialized capitalism is the inevitable result of a declining profit rate, where there are no more markets to expand, but capital must continue to accumulate more capital. There is no class conciliation; the state is an instrument for one class to oppress another to maintain a ruling class with its private property, which will be increasingly concentrated by competition. To deny this is to deceive the masses with lies so that they do not follow their interests in socializing the economy by arming the proletariat and other working classes that will serve the political domination of the proletariat, which will become the new ruling class in the proletarian state, abolishing private property, anarchy of production, and social classes where housing, health, education, child and elderly care, transportation, extractivism, industry, food production, natural resources, culture, community, leisure, etc. will be organized collectively by society as collective property and cooperatives that do not compete with each other, therefore organized by the needs of the population with the right to guaranteed employment. There will be no more financial speculation because the stock market will be trashed when it is abolished with the suppression of private banking and the administration by economists will be expelled to a statistics commission mandatorily formed by workers so that no capitalist can transfer the costs of inflation to workers because workers' wages will be linked to the price of food and consumption. With the socialization of the rest of the economy along with the extinction of the exploiting classes, all these resources can be allocated directly to collective national economic planning.
If you want to see this other perspective, I suggest reading "The Principles of Communism," and then reading "Socialism: Utopian and Scientific" to get the basics of scientific socialism. You'll be surprised to read how different it is from the narratives of liberals, conservatives, reactionaries, reformists, chauvinists—that is, the apologists for class conciliation and private property—who deny what the state is and how it emerged, mystifying it in various ways to justify the existence of the capitalist class.
