I know that anarchism, specifically anarcho-communism and marxism are very different. People always talk about their main difference being that they have a different means of achieving their goals but the same end goal , but that’s definitely not true. So what are some of the ways they are different?
This was a good response. What about marxists that support council communism? I don’t know much marx theory but I feel that council communism is different than a traditional state
Thanks! Council Communism is a bit fringe among Marxists, and really is differentiated most by having a particular desire for organization structure. Most oppose the existing socialist states for not having the structure they believe is best. There are also just genuine flaws with the way they percieve labor unions and councils, which is why there has never been a successful council communist revolution thus far.
If you want to read a bit more into the basics of Marxist-Leninist theory, I made an intro reading list. It might be helpful, just to get more familiar with terms, if you check out some of the earlier works. Don’t worry, I’m not assigning homework, haha.
