[Marxism] Question of the future

the new is human society or social humanity.*Philosophers have hitherto only
interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it. (Marx)

  What would I like to see? A more answerable question would be: What am I
fighting for?

  A world of socialized global harmony of human interests, wherein the
strife of One verses Other, in a "war of all against all", has been
transcended by public social ownership of the productive forces ending
commodity production, wage-labor and economic competition in which quality
food, clothing, shelter, medical care, and so on is the right of every
individual member of a society in which the all rounded, free development of
each is the free development of all -- enabling a stateless society to
emerge - without class distinctions or national borders - or even racial
continental distinctions, as class and property in the productive forces
would have been abolished, and with it the end of national boarders, armies,
police, prisons and of all authoritarian hierarchal institutions.  A world
in which tanks will be displaced by tractors and all nuclear arsenals
destroyed.

  What am I fighting for? A world in which every advance in science,
technology and non-polluting natural power and perpetual universal education
would continually reduce socially necessary labor time on one hand, and the
chains of life-time economic divisions of labor on the other in that the
perpetual reduction of socially necessary labor time required to reproduce
the productive forces as well as consumer goods and services, to say ten
hours a week per person, in a society in which everyone has mastered
science, technology, medicine, and so on would mean that a person could
perform social service ten hours per day per one week doing physics or
astronomy, work in the community kitchen the next, perform the services of a
doctor surgeon the next, do sanitation collection the next, and so on and
on, and have the rest of the week free to play.
