True communism is a political ideology that promotes a classless and stateless worldwide society in which all property is communally owned. Communist theory is expressed in the "Manifesto of the Communist Party," published by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in 1848. According to the Manifesto, all of history is marked by a progression of the struggle between the "proletariat" -- that is, the working class, particularly the industrial working class -- and those who exploit them, the bourgeoisie. True communism is the end-game, in which the workers of the world have overthrown the ruling classes and established a society based on the idea of a classless, stateless society. Communists theorize that the working people must unite and overthrow the governments in their countries. Most communists believe that the state must continue to exist in order to enforce social and economic equality until true communism is reached. Theoretically, true communism would eliminate the need for the state and ruling class, allowing the working class to decide matters democratically in a manner beneficial to society as a whole. The Government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (Russian: Правительство СССР, Pravitel'stvo SSSR) was the main part of the executive branch of government of the USSR. Its head of government was the officeholder known generally in the West as the Premier of the Soviet Union. The Soviets, or counsels, are the replacement for what we would call a combination of our congress and president combined. It doesn’t reach true communism until everyone is equal, happy, has not need for anything, and has got rid of the government. Fat chance of that. rwood
