Thats socialism, which is meant to lead eventually to communism. The end goal is to have no state.
If my understanding is correct, that is.
To be fair ๐ค since it's mostly theoretical, any definition of communism is going to be in flux as it has not achieved a shelf-stable real life application yet.
It's shelf stable in the same way as a clay pigeon.
yeah, Lenin even stated this was the end-goal.
I don't think it's possible for a state to give up power.
it's one of those things a lot of thought's been put into and commies themselves argue about. i feel it's great to conceptualize (and with it the differing definitions of "the state" as well) but i'm not a scholar anyway, this ain't the place, and it's moot since socialism needs to be achieved first anyway, after we beat this whole fascism thing. no point in worrying to much about it eh?
