Better correct “with” to “without” before “social classes”, or Wez will pick up on it!
———————————–
I am resting my case: There is no fascism, there are no fascists, and socialism is not an ideology, and it is not a doctrine either, even though Engels used the expression: doctrine in a different context. Later on, he called socialism/communism a movement
Every month from the Socialist Standard, we are going to translate one or two important articles in Spanish, French and Portuguese
Well, there are more than 7 websites publishing articles and pamphlets from the Socialist Party, World Socialist Movement, in different languages.

Marx defined ideology as the ideas that uphold the conceptions of the ruling class in every epoch; Engels also defined it as false consciousness, or a distortion of reality.
Therefore, socialism is not an ideology because the working class is not and will not be a ruling class; on the contrary, it is going to establish a society without social classes, without a ruling class, without distortion of our social reality
Socialism will provide self-class consciousness and real social awareness to the whole world working class, and all ideologies of all kinds will be rejected.
Socialists are and should be against all ideologies
When Marx was a proto Menshevik, Lenin copied or took some of his conceptions to elaborate some of his Leninist distortions, including the national liberation. Marx changed his point of view when he became politically mature. Was Marx or Engels responsible for Leninism?
Julius Martov’s archives in Spanish have been expanded, too.

There are four more articles that were published by the Socialist Party that can not be included. They were not written by Julius Martov
Most Socialist Party pamphlets like this one have been translated into Spanish, Portuguese and French
No existen autobuses gratuitos ( Socialist Standard 11/25 )
The economic reality is going to show him and his followers that a leader can not change the economic base of any class society, and that there is nothing free within the capitalist society. That reform has been tried in other places, and they have failed. Some universities had free transportation for their students, and some were forced to eliminate the program
“Let a hundred flowers bloom; let a hundred schools of thought contend”. Mao. That expression of Mao applies to all the Trotskyist sects; every day, a new one emerges, and all of them compete against each other. The main problem of those groups is the concept of leadership; they are followers of leaders
Many scientific conceptions came through Paganism, and some scientists were pagans because religion and science were still together. After all, natural sciences have evolved by themselves, and both have separated. Medicine was not born with the Greeks; it was born in Africa and among the Egyptians. The merits of the Greeks are that they explained that diseases were produced by natural causes instead of divine intervention. Hippocrates was also a philosopher and a scientist. Many scientists, biologists and mathematicians were philosophers
Adam Smith was also a philosopher and an economist, and he wrote about ethics and morality. Robert Owen was also a philosopher, and Saint Simon was a philosopher. Engels indicated that England was the birthplace of modern materialism, although philosophy evolved with the Indian ( from India ) and the Greek
Stalin and the Russian orthodox church became allied during the period of World War 2, and each benefited from that alliance.
The church obtained certain properties back again, and they were used to propagate patriotism and to motivate the peasants to fight against the devil known as Nazism among the vast majority of the russian population who were religious people, even though the state propagated atheism, responded to the patriotic call of the state and the church.
The Catholic Church in several countries around the world signed Concordatos with dictators, and both benefited from those agreements.
The church supported the dictatorship and avoided the rebellion of peasants and religious believers. When the dictators disagreed with the church, they supported movements to overthrow them.
They obtained monetary contributions from the national production, and Catholicism became the official religion of the nation.
And catholicism was part of the educational system at that time. The dictators were placed by god in power, and the dictators benefited themselves by avoiding rebellion and discontent among the population.
It is a combination of religious ideology and capitalist ideology; it is similar to syncretism.
Many writers who oppose the Socialist Party are saying that we are too simplistic because we do not write extensive articles, but the thing is that the socialist party has been able to explain complicated terms and concepts in a very simple way. The socialist party has also indicated that most of its members are simple members of the working class, and some are not intellectuals
Socialist understanding is the key
