As to the original post. As I understand it , a key difference between a Communist , such as myself , and the
national syndicalism of such Japanese rooted fascists as the
Tohokai , and as I understand it , on a more personal note @Saeko , is that the latter , to quote Mussolini , holds to the premise of
"All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state" , while I as a Marxist look forward to a time in which the final conflict is faced and triumphed, with all enemies of the free working people of the world utterly vanquished. Then and only then will material conditions be ripe for the
higher stage of communism. Lenin elaborates upon this in chapter five of
The State and Revolution. Until such an optimal future society can be realized, we Communists believe that the best state of affairs that can be attained is the lower stage of socialism. Once the the social class hierarchy is eliminated, and consciousness is elevated worldwide, there will no longer be any underlying cause for armed conflict . And as statecraft is no more than warcraft carried out by other means, the end of the root causes of war will likewise bring about the end of the state, as it would no longer have a reason for being. Anyone who lacks confidence that such an ideal society can be brought to fruition is no more than a
social fascist , whose socialism is nothing but
yellow socialism . But in the end , even a number of neofascist third positionists have been gravitating towards a sort of
autonomous nationalism /
national anarchism . So we may come to see, for better or worse, the rise of a new synthesis known as
National Bolshevism. This I have noticed has already been playing out in Russia , where such
left-wing nationalist Communists such as for example
Anastasia Udaltsova , had previously been affiliated with such parties as the
National Bolshevik Party. So perhaps an increasing number of disgruntled fascists will wind up being reconciled to the cause of Communism, particularly given how
post-fascism has been shifting in the direction of
national conservatism /
national populism , leaving anti-capitalist adherents of fascism stranded without a political home. What such would be converts to Communism must realize however is that while Communism rejects bourgeois liberal democracy, it does still affirm the idea of democratic centralism , and opposes such chauvinist prejudices as anti-Semitism. This I feel is what a number of more so nationalist inclined Russian Communists should be made to understand , if those comrades who are of Jewish descent, such as myself , are to be able to feel safe being part of the larger Communist movement.
