Kritika komunizma: razlika između inačica

Inačica od 17. studeni 2021. u 05:42

Kritika komunizma može se široko podijeliti u dvije kategorije: jednu koja se bavi praktičnim aspektima komunističkih država u 20. stoljeću,^[1] i drugom koja se bavi komunističkom politikom i teorijom.^[2] Autori koji kritiziraju komunizam obično se protive i komunističkim idejama i povijesnim politikama, mada se obično fokusiraju na jedan ili drugi aspekt u svojim tekstovima.

Neki anti-komunisti tvrde da je komunistička teorija direktno odgovorna za probleme komunizma 20. stoljeća, dok drugi odvajaju teoriju od prakse tvrdeći da i jedna i druga imaju svojih nedostataka. Dio komunista brani i teoriju i praksu, dok jedan dio njih tvrdi da se povjesna praksa više iili manje udaljila od komunističkih ideja.

Neka osoba se može slagati s komunističkim idejama ali ne i s politikama koje primjenjuju komunističke države (ovakav način razmišljanja je sasvim uobičajen među trockistima), ili puno rjeđe netko se može slagati s politikama komunističkih država ali ne i s komunističkim idejama.

O pomenutim kategorije koje kritiziraju komunizam diskutira se u odvojenim člancima:

Kritika vladavine komunističke partije se bavi kritikom praktičnih politika implementiranih u vladajuće strukture komunističkih država u 20. stoljeću koje slijede ideologiju marksizma i lenjinizma

Kritika marksizma se bavi kritikom markstističke teorije.

Kritika vladavine komunističke partije

Djelovanje komunističkih država bilo je predmetom kritike širom političkog spektra.^[3] Prema kritičarima vladavina komunističkih partija vodi u totalitarizam, političku represiju, ograničenja ljudskih prava, loše gospodarske rezultate, te u kulturnu i umjetničku cenzuru.^[3]^[4] Zapadnjački kritičari komunističke vlasti također su utemeljeni u kritici samog socijalizma: Friedrich Hayek i Milton Friedman tvrdili su kako su državno vlasništvo i komandna ekonomija koje karakteriziraju komunističku vlast sovjetskog stila odgovorni za gospodarsku stagnaciju i ekonomiju nestašice koja pojedince ne potiče na povećanje produktivnosti, niti na poduzetničko djelovanje.^[5] ^[6] ^[7] ^[8] ^[9] Vladajuće komunističke partije također su se suočavale s učestalom disidencijom.^[10]

Kritičari su također uočili jazove između službene politike jednakosti i gospodarske pravde, i stvarnosti u kojoj je dolazilo do pojave nove društvene klase (nomenklatura) koja je napredovala na račun ostatka stanovništva. Među poznatijim kritičarima ovog društvenog sloja bili su, između ostalih, Vaclav Havel, Aleksandar Solženjicin i Milovan Đilas.^[11]^[12]^[13] Velik dio kritike dolazi od strane antistaljinističkih ljevičara i drugih socijalista.^[14]^[15]^[16]^[17]

O društveno-ekonomskoj naravi vladavine komunističkih partija vodilo se mnogo rasprava pri čemu je takva vlast okarakterizirana oblikom birokratskog kolektivizma, državnog kapitalizma, državnog socijalizma ili jedinstvenog načina proizvodnje.^[18]^[19]^[20]^[21]
