Talk:State socialism: Difference between revisions

Within this talk section, at the top one individual had said that libertarian socialists deride Marxism as ''State'' Socialism, Marxism is merely a philosophical, dialectical materialistic analysis on society. Marxism advocates for the eventual achievement of communism through varying means, thus it neither is nor advocates for state socialism except certain ideologies which build upon Marxism such as Marxism-Leninism for instance. Also that individual had said that some make the claim that state socialism retains some features of capitalism which it does not as capitalism involves private control over the means of production, private property, and production for profit as opposed to need, state socialism features worker and state control over the means of production and production for need as opposed to profit, and it lacks the other features instead featuring state property and control over the means of production predominantly. Also this individual above considers social democracy as a "mild form" of "state socialism" this is far from the truth as social democracy involves the capitalist mode of production, private control over the means of production, private property, excessive amounts of commodity production, etc, thus it is nowhere near socialism or state socialism especially.
