Communist mode of production

The Communist mode of production refers to a future state of human society in which no one is born into a class and the means of production are own by all members of society in common.

Historical Attempts

Before and after the collapse of Soviet Communism, Trotskyists and other left communists held that the officially socialist states were "deformed" or "degenerated". The distinction is between a state where the workers at one point thru revolutionary action were in control of the state apparatus and those where that never happened.
