Talk:Proletarian revolution

"The need for a proletarian revolution is a cornerstone of Marxism. Marxists believe that the workers of the world must unite and free themselves from capitalist oppression to create a world run by and for the working class."

My understanding of Socialism/Communism is less than clear, but isn't the ultimate goal of communists to create a society without any class divisions at all (hence, no ruling class)?


 * Yes, it is. However, the Marxist view is typified by a passage from The Communist Manifesto:


 * "If the proletariat during its contest with the bourgeoisie is compelled, by the force of circumstances, to organise itself as a class, if, by means of a revolution, it makes itself the ruling class, and, as such, sweeps away by force the old conditions of production, then it will, along with these conditions, have swept away the conditions for the existence of class antagonisms and of classes generally, and will thereby have abolished its own supremacy as a class." 76.28.97.246 (talk) 21:23, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Anarchism
In the opening line the article states "Proletarian revolutions are generally advocated by socialists, communists and most anarchists". Why is the qualifier "Most" used only for anarchists when there are revisionist communists that do not advocate for proletarian revolution and plenty of socialsits that dont advocate for proletarian revolution. I changed it to just include all Socialists, Communists and Anarchists even though there are groups inside of those ideologies that do not advocate for proletarian revolution. 193.175.5.181 (talk) 16:44, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
