Humankind in its development passes through five formations, with
communism being the highest and final of them. |
|
|
Private ownership of the means of production is connected with
exploitation; with the abolition of private property, exploitation
will disappear. |
|
|
Class struggle is the essence of world development: “The history of
all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggle”
(Marx). |
|
|
Class struggle is waged by two main classes: the exploited working
class and the exploiting class of the bourgeoisie. |
|
|
Due to its social position, the working class is naturally attracted
to socialism. |
|
|
The road to socialism lies through a violent revolution, the
destruction of the bourgeois state and private ownership and the
creation of a workers’ state - the state of the dictatorship of the
proletariat. |
|
|
The state of the dictatorship of the proletariat is a necessary
stage in the transition to a classless society, a society without
the state. |
|
|
The essence of socialism and of the transition to communism is a
gradual abolition of money-commodity relations (in other words, of
the market). |
|
|
The essence of a socialist economy is a high degree of
centralization and of planning in all aspects of the economy. |
|
|
The dictatorship of the proletariat is unthinkable without the
Communist Party’s dominant position within the state. |
