(en) Italy, Umanita Nova #27-25 - Libertarian Communism and Marxism (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Date Tue, 11 Nov 2025 07:54:07 +0200


Marxism is not synonymous with communism, but rather with itself; with its theory, its practice, and its strategic and tactical framework. Marxism, therefore, has its own communism, which is not communism as such. It inaugurated and formalized its thought, its creed, its communism with the publication of The Communist Manifesto in 1848. The salient points of Marxist communist thought are: the seizure of power, the state, the dictatorship of the proletariat, the party, socialism, and the transitional phase.
THIS IS MARXISM WITH ITS "COMMUNISM"
The idea of a communist society, which existed before, during, and after Marx, is something entirely different. First of all, this society is built through a total revolutionary upheaval of the previous society. First and foremost, with the destruction and rejection of all apparatuses, institutions, and organs, of every order and degree, of power and domination created and utilized by bourgeois and capitalist society prior to the communist social revolution, such as the state, the logic of power, the dictatorship, the party... These structures, systems, and means, along with the entire superstructure of the system, must be destroyed and not used, or modified for the simple reason that they are not neutral, and that therefore, if left in place and reused, they will ultimately reproduce the system to which they belong, the previous system: capitalism.
Therefore, the logic that every end requires appropriate means, not the logic that the end justifies the means, is true and revolutionary, until proven otherwise. This logic, once applied by the Marxist program, has in fact led to the constant and inevitable defeat of the revolution for the emancipation of the vast majority of humanity in every part of the world where it was attempted.
Thus, the Marxist system was and is a loser, largely responsible for the defeats of various attempted revolutions.
While the libertarian communist social revolution is one that is founded and implemented from below and horizontally, with the direct and undelegated participation of all men and women who reject hierarchy, including that of the party, who do not accept the state with its dictatorship, its army, and its entire repressive apparatus, who do not want any form of power and domination to achieve their emancipation, their progress, and their freedom, and who do not want it in every area of their lives.
WE DO NOT WANT CAPITALISM DISGUISED AS COMMUNISM
Through their direct, horizontal, and grassroots participation, men and women want to freely build and experiment-by associating and cooperating together-with communal, communal, self-management, and self-organizational paths, bringing them into every sphere of social life, to achieve the realization of equality, brotherhood, solidarity, love, and freedom.
Knowledge, understanding, and constant experimentation in close dialogue with nature create the new man, who will collectively achieve the anarchist internationalist social revolution.
Libertarian communism is therefore a human process of transformation and struggle, of philosophy, knowledge, research, and experimentation, in progress, for liberation from power, domination, and the exploitation of man by man and of man by nature, which has existed in various historical periods and in various forms. Therefore, it is not a predetermined science.
