communist ideology
Collectivist political philosophy
Communist ideology is a political and economic framework holding that capitalism exploits workers and must be replaced by collective ownership of production.
Drawing from Marx and Engels, it envisions a classless society where wealth is distributed according to need rather than market forces.
In practice, communist ideology has taken various forms—from Soviet central planning to Maoist peasant revolution—often diverging sharply from its theoretical ideals.
The party's communist ideology shaped every aspect of daily life.
