Revisionism and Marxism : The Fundamental Difference


Workers! Learn how to differentiate between real and fake
communists!
Whenever In the birth of a new social order happens in history,
force plays the role of a midwife who helps in carrying out the
delivery. Be it nature or society, it is necessary to apply force in
order to change a the prevailing condition. From the time of
primitive communism to the current society, history has remained
that of class-struggles and revolutions. Class struggle has so far been
the basic main driving force of historical development. In the
struggle clash between two contradictory opposing classes, class
collaboration can either represent the temporary helplessness of the
defeated class or an apparent/illusory reality during the days of
defeat; but it certainly does not represent the natural stategeneral
nature of the classes or the general truth of any class society. The
basic economic principle laws of any class-society does not allow
this.

State is the central and supreme political organization of the class


which holds dominance over the economy. The purpose of state is to
maintain the existing socio-economic structure and to crush the
resistance of other classes. In a society based on private ownership
of the means of production, the statehood always remains a tool for
dictatorship held by the exploitative ruling-class, and it works acts
as a special force for the suppression of the oppressed exploited
common masses, whatever be the form of government.
Contrary to reality, Democracy is not a classless or egalitarian
system as is often mentioned in the bourgeois books often
describeabout bourgeois democracy as a classless and egalitarian
system, when in reality, it isIn its essence bourgeois democracy is
only a dictatorship over the common masses by the bourgeois class.
It gives the toiling masses and the intellectuals only as little much
freedom as to letis required for them to sustain themselves by selling
their physical and mental labour power in the market. In the
capitalist society, whatever freedom and rights that people hold
enjoy beyond this have been achieved through their long struggles
and sacrifices. The rest is a hoax in the name of freedom. The
section of intelligentsia which serves the bourgeois class by taking
up the responsibility of managing the state and the structure of
production enjoys a higher level of comfort and freedom. These
educated people belonging to the higher strata actually ends up
being an organ part of this the ruling bodyelite. The instruments of
coercion, like the army and police, act as the central aid constituents
of the state in any capitalist democracy, be it India or America. The
bourgeois intelligentsia forms the rules and regulations to run the
system and the bureaucracy implements them. The only role of
government is merely that of a managing committee for the
capitalists. The Parliament is a mere centre of shallow debatesa
talking shop, where the state performs a stage-play of working for
the people and by the peoplejust a show off. All the while, tThe real
decisions are in fact taken in the boardrooms of the capitalists; the
governments and bureaucracy implement them. The capitalist
parliamentary elections that are conducted under the might of
capital and political power might, is only a competition to decide
which bourgeois party will get the next opportunity to be the
managing committee of the bourgeois class.
In the context of the state, the main task of the working class is to
smash the bourgeois state machinery (that is, state power) and to
build a new political machinery which would maintain establish the
public ownership of means of production and take a step towards
wiping out class-exploitation. A socialist democracy is not free from
class either. It is the dictatorship of the proletariat. It also acts as a
tool of force, but differs from the state machineries previously held
by the exploiting classes in the sense that it works in favour of the
entire toiling common masses and people and uses force against the
minority of exploiting classes. In the long period of socialist
transition, when all forms of classes and class exploitations are
abolishedwither away, the proletarian state will itself will start
getting abolishedwither away.

Broadly and briefly speaking, this is the fundamental principle of


Marxism-Leninism regarding state and revolution. The fake
communists keep distorting this principle in various ways, which is
why they are called revisionists. As per Lenin, revisionism is a
capitalistic essence hiding withinin a Marxist shell. Sometimes
openly and sometimes weaving a deceitful web of words, revisionists,
in one form or the other, reject the basic historic law of class
struggle and advocate for class-collaboration. They reject the
historical teaching of the role of force and destruction of the state,
and advocate for a peaceful transition instead of revolution or. They
they use the term 'revolution' synonymously with peaceful
transition. The Rrevisionists deny the fact that never in history have
the oppressive explotative ruling classes voluntarily sacrificed gave
up their power and dug their own graves, nor have they ever
undergone a change of heart.
