Communism sidebar World communism , also known as international communism or global communism , is the terminal stage of development of the future history of communism in Marxist theory . It has also usually been equated to the Comintern Communist International . This is the meaning that typically and historically has been meant by opponents of communism . World communism is closely related and connected to stateless communism . Marxist theory may treat world communism as utopian, but it is the transition to world communism that attracts attention. World communism is to be achieved by world revolution , according to a theory that was popular in the period 1917 to around 1933 at least . World communism is incompatible with the existence of nation states , so according to an older theory there will be an abolition of the state preceding world communism. Abolition of the state is not incompatible with world revolution, but is not in itself a distinctively Marxist doctrine. It was held by various socialist and anarchist thinkers of the nineteenth century. An apparent alternative is a theory going back to Karl Marx , speaking of the withering away of the state . The crux here is a text of the Friedrich Engels , from his Anti D hring . It is often cited as The state is not abolished, it withers away. This is from the pioneer work of historical materialism , a formulation of Marx s idea of a materialist conception of history . The withering away of the state is a graphic formulation, that has passed into clich . The translation Engels was writing in German is also given as The state ... on world communism as the Comintern was set up in 1919 world revolution is necessary for the setting up of world communism, but not immediately or clearly sufficient.

Left wing socialists in Ukraine and the Muslim areas of the former tsarist empire also developed distinct variants of communism that continued in the USSR until 1928. Ukrainian and Muslim varaints differed from each other on two points in particular. The Muslims believed the fate of world revolution depended on events in Asia not Europe. They also argued alliances with the national bourgeoisie were necessary for the duration of the liberation struggle. Class divisions had to be ignored,otherwise the national bourgeoisie would turn away from national liberation, ally with their imperial counterparts and thus ensure the ultimate collapse of any revolutionary struggle and national liberation. In its Muslim variant it was a synthesis of nationalism, communism and anarchism as well as religion.
