I'm still in my home country so I would unfortunately get abducted if I disclosed where I got the information. But nonetheless it is definitely in line with Marxism's conception of Scientific Socialism. The idea that the solution to the surplus question (which is one of three that I'm about to post so this isn't the only one) is a scientific process that took humanity 30,000 years [erratum] is definitely in line with Marxism overall, as it, as per Mao, argues that Truth is derived from Facts learned through Social Practice which reflects in theory. If it took 30,000 years of Social Practice to consciously create a systematic solution to the Surplus Question, Then the rest of Marxism falls in line.

Umm... Have you actually done any research on the topic? There some pretty good authors which probably fall under Marxist schools which can give much more accurate information on the topic.

Or was the point that Marx just made up stuff and called it Scientific?

I'm pretty sure Marx always acknowledges Communism to come about through an artificial and unnatural process. This means Marx argued that only through certain material conditions violent revolution can make the working class even have a shot at liberation.

Preface 1872 of the Manifesto argues that the measures in Section II, aka through natural, republican, political means, cannot possibly bring about Communism because the whole methodology of liberal republicanism is biased towards Bonapartism and Capitalism. This is still within the same agreement of the whole of the manifesto, that an unnatural revolution must occur.

You lot are taking that luxury space communism meme a little too seriously.

If you're justifying statism because you want to explore the galaxy, you weren't born in the right century.

Anyway, anarchism isn't against hierarchy, it's against vertical hierarchy. We can appoint people to perform functions in our fictional futuristic societies too.
