Realcommunism

(a definition)

 

For all too long humanity has had utopian doctrines of IdealCommunism; naturally, the time has mercilessly criticised and rejected all varieties of utopian communism. The time of pragmatic Realcommunism – the true and realistic communism, which has nothing in common with the utopias of Idealcommunismhas come.

Realcommunism bears only the positive meaning of the prefix “Real” from the world-famous German category of Realpolitik. Like Realpolitik, Realcommunism means realistic, practical and actual for it is based on the real – not idealised, – human nature; it aims at political realism and pragmatic politics. However, unlike Realpolitik with its disgusting lack of ethical premises, Realcommunism aims at constituting a political order which expresses the highly ethical principles of free political communities.

It is well worth expanding the meaning of the German category Realpolitik to describe the politics of the dominating classes: aiming at possession of virtually unlimited power over all the other classes, their policies consider predominantly their own interests in dealing with the other classes. Realcommunism vigorously reject the egoistic and unethical Realpolitik of the dominating classes for it aims at superseding the elected dictatorship of the Big Bourgeoisie and Big Capital, at radical overthrowing of the capitalist state and reforming all "democratic" institutions imposed by the Big Bourgeoisie with a view to defending and securing its total power over the political community. Realcommunism aims at advancement of the common good and establishing Real Direct Democracy the rule of the sovereign People organised as a free political community of equals.

Realcommunism is not based on the abstract Marx's notion of common property, which according to him must be introduced after abolishing the institution of private property. Realcommunism is a political communism, i.e. it has nothing in common with the Marxist commune. It is based on the category of political community; political communities must be free, powerful and sovereign. It is based on the common good, the rights and duties of all members of the political community; in other words, based on the principles of ethical Realpolitik and willing to create a higher human civilisation of real political communism, Realcommunism aims first and foremost at establishing the communist state the highest type of state as an organisation of the common good of the whole political community.

Realcommunism rejects all kinds of idealistic communist doctrines. Its credo is based on political realism and practical politics aiming at the common good of all members of the sovereign People organised as a political community of equally free members. In no way does such a community delegate its power to “representatives” of any kind. It and only it is in possession of political power. It and only it implements the practical objectives of its Common Will genuinely willing the common good of all.

Defined by the practical reality of human nature, Realcommunism is alien to any ideological principles which do not express the absolute ends of Man and, therefore, it cannot be decreed by any dictatorship. There is no doubt that the great and eternal goal of humanity is to develop towards a ever juster and freer political community providing both private and public happiness for all. Realcommunism presents a new formulation of the economic and political imperatives of every pragmatic community. Unlike utopian Marx's communism, it aims at creating a highly competitive economy while advancing the overriding imperatives of a just society.

Once the Common Will of really politically highly educated sovereign Peoples starts willing to build Realcommunism, it will reject the monstrous imbalance of power in modern capitalist societies ruled by the total domination and relentless dictatorship of the Big Bourgeoisie and, what is more, for the first time in world history it will create political communities in which there is a balance of power between its classes.





Realpolitik (a definition)


According to Wikipedia:

Realpolitik (from German: real “realistic”, “practical” or “actual”; and Politik “politics”) refers to politics or diplomacy based primarily on power and on practical and material factors and considerations, rather than ideological notions or moralistic or ethical premises. In this respect, it shares aspects of its philosophical approach with those of realism and pragmatism. The term Realpolitik is sometimes used pejoratively to imply politics that are coercive, amoral, or Machiavellian. Realpolitik is a theory of politics that focuses on considerations of power, not ideals, morals, or principles.

 

 

Pronunciation of Realcommunism


In order to preserve the pragmatic character and all positive ideas and connotations with the German category of Realpolitik (pronounced as [Re'a:lpoli/tik], the category of Realcommunism should be pronounced as [Re'a:l/komjunizm].

It is essential to mention that Realcommunism has none of the negative and pejorative connotations with the German word because its goals are highly ethical. The supreme goal of Realcommunism is creating ethical political communities.

Unlike Realpolitik “the German word for political realism, generally referring to the advancement of the national interest unrestrained by ethical or ideological concerns, more specifically a foreign policy based on pragmatic concrete goals rather than theory or ideals, the latter being Idealpolitik”1, Realcommunism aims at political realism referring to the advancement of the common good and the absolute ethical principles of every sovereign People organised as a political community of equally free members. Yet, (paraphrasing the second part of the definition of Realpolitik above) like Realpolitik, Realcommunism is based on pragmatic concrete goals rather than theory or ideals, the latter being abstract utopian Idealcommunism.
