§ 01
The Idea
What Orthodox Marxist actually means.
Orthodox Marxism follows classical Marxist principles, advocating for a proletarian revolution and full economic collectivization.
Orthodox Marxism is rooted in Karl Marx's original teachings, emphasizing class struggle, historical materialism, and the abolition of private property. It envisions a proletarian revolution leading to a dictatorship of the proletariat, central planning, and the eventual withering away of the state.
