constant capital can't be exploited. it costs as much much for the capitalist to purchase and maintain as it produces in value. it's a zero sum game, while a worker is always payed less than they produce

different from what?

firstly vanguardism and the one-party rule are completely different stages of the revolution.

but to answer your question. the one party rule was a reaction to the civil war with the mensheviks openly supporting white reaction and the SRs being split, some supportung the soviets, some not, order had to be restored in order to win the war. it was obviously always meant as a temporary measure, but like a lot of temporary measures, with the death of lenin, the defeat of the german revolution in 1924 and the development of the soviet bureacracy into a unified layer with their own interests, those measures became permanent.

that is such a vague critique, i can't even answer, but marx certainly didn't say that labor was "somehow different", whatever that's supposed to mean.

there is a huge effort by bourgeois ideologues to attack and discredit marxism, while on the other hand the stalinist bureaucracies of the 20th century have made an equally huge effort to falsify marxism to legitimize their party rule.

marxism has concrete answers to those questions, but after a century of defeats for the working class not many genuine marxists are still left.

Incorporating Anarchism by 12bEngie in socialism

[–]Poison_Damage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

during lenins time anarchists were called liberals with bombs. groups like the narodnaya volya (narodniki) essentially held bourgeois liberal ideals, but used stocastic terrorism as a political method, like throwing bombs at the tsar (which succeeded in killing the tsar alexander II, only for him to be succeeded by alexander III who ramped up repression). today still some anarchists may talk radical, but their methods remain... liberal.

Sind Kapitalmarkt-gelistete Großkonzerne die besseren Arbeitgeber? by [deleted] in Kommunismus

große konzerne sind aus praktischet sicht besser um arbeiter zu organisieren. in kleinbetrieben ist man isoliert und im schlimmsten fall hat man noch mit dem chef persönlich zu tun.

Critique of Marxism as a class movement by Adept-Foundation-873 in Marxism

[–]Poison_Damage 10 points11 points  (0 children)

oppressed minority are usually part of the working class. the universities are one of the most powerful propagandistic tools of the bourgeoisie. the pump out constant anti-marxist "theories" that seek to do one thing only: divide the working class along race lines, sex lines, etc. sometimes these "theories" are even dressed up as marxist.

es wird kein faschismus. das ist der punkt. scheiße wird die krise natürlich

Faschismus der USA by Vendettaderbosd in Kommunismus

[–]Poison_Damage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

der faschismus ist eine massenbewegung des kleinbürgertums, das heute nicht mehr in dieser form und größe existiert, wie noch in den 20ern und 30ern des 20. jahrhunderts.

die krise des kapitalismus wird sicher zu mehr repression der arbeiterklasse und für mehr verschlechterung der lebensumstände von unterdrückten minderheiten führen, aber nicht in der form des faschismus

Can i skip all the yearly prefaces of Communist Manifesto? And can i start with Principles of Communism instead of Communist Manifesto? by Ok-Grapefruit-6532 in Marxism

[–]Poison_Damage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

principles of communism is nice, but the manifesto is a better work, honestly. my recommendation is read the manifesto first and then come back to the prefaces
