I'm a left wing Marxist.
I can't partake in the poll because I only speak for myself.
So you're left wing and want to end capitalism. What does the system do we replace it with look like? Do you fully understand what it would mean to end capitalism?
You are aware of Marxist theory, yes?
I think I have an understanding about the elimination of capitalism. It doesn't scare me. What do you think I should understand?
Why do you think it is that literally no country on Earth practices true Marxism?
Primarily because capitalists won't allow it to develop. Also, I'm not sure capitalism has fully exhausted itself.
I've heard a few different opinions of how it would work. I've honestly never read most of the stuff Marx wrote. When you end capitalism does that mean people no longer get paychecks and instead do work in exchange for resources from the government (food, housing etc)? Would they get an allowance to keep the flow of currency alive? Would they be able to choose where they work? Where they live? There seem to be some very large limitations on personal choice and growth in true communism. Perhaps I don't understand well enough. Could you explain to me in detail how you think the system would work?
