Communism sidebar World communism , also known as international communism or global communism , is the terminal stage of development of the future history of communism in Marxist theory . It has also usually been equated to the Comintern Communist International . This is the meaning that typically and historically has been meant by opponents of communism . World communism is closely related and connected to stateless communism . Marxist theory may treat world communism as utopian, but it is the transition to world communism that attracts attention. World communism is to be achieved by world revolution , according to a theory that was popular in the period 1917 to around 1933 at least . World communism is incompatible with the existence of nation states , so according to an older theory there will be an abolition of the state preceding world communism. Abolition of the state is not incompatible with world revolution, but is not in itself a distinctively Marxist doctrine. It was held by various socialist and anarchist thinkers of the nineteenth century. An apparent alternative is a theory going back to Karl Marx , speaking of the withering away of the state . The crux here is a text of Friedrich Engels , from his Anti D hring . It is often cited as The state is not abolished, it withers away. This is from the pioneer work of historical materialism , a formulation of Marx s idea of a materialist conception of history . The withering away of the state is a graphic formulation, that has passed into clich . The translation Engels was writing in German is also given as The state is not abolished ... on world communism as the Comintern was set up in 1919 world revolution is necessary for the setting up of world communism, but not immediately or clearly sufficient.

Communism sidebar Criticism of communism can be divided into two broad categories those concerning themselves with the practical aspects of 20th century Communist state s, and those concerning themselves with communist principles and theory. These two categories usually overlap because criticisms of the theory are usually supported by several 20th century examples. And most people who criticize communism are against both communist principles and policies. Anti communists typically argue that communist theory is directly responsible for the problems of 20th century communism , while communists typically argue that the theory is deeper than the practice. Therefore anti communists tend to produce criticisms that connect theory and practice, while communists respond by dividing these criticisms into separate arguments about theory and practice. However, one may agree with communist principles but disagree with many policies adopted by Communist states this is quite common among Trotskyism Trotskyists , or, more rarely, agree with policies adopted by Communist states but disagree with communist principles. The categories of criticisms mentioned above are discussed in separate articles Criticisms of communist party rule is an article dealing with criticisms of the practical policies implemented by 20th century governments claiming to follow the ideology of Marxism Leninism these are usually called Communist states in the West . Criticisms of Marxism is an article dealing with criticisms of Marxist theory itself.
