Background

Molecular Marxism refers to a particular subcategory of all Marxist theories which is defined in the Molecular Democracy text (abbreviated MDem) and also to some extent laid out as a hypothetical civilization. A Molecular Marxism or MDem is simply any named Marxism that already exists but has been refined to include a small-scale theory of society which builds up to its large-scale theory of society, and which considers itself as a material object among other material objects, potentially modeling itself as only one of several separate uncontrollable Marxisms if necessary. Thus, there could hypothetically exist a molecularized version of mainstream Marxism-Leninism (Molecular Marxism is usually assumed to refer to this), a Molecular Trotskyism, Molecular Juche-socialism, Molecular Maoism, or even some kind of combination Marxism which consisted of multiple federated republics which each practiced a different Marxism internally. The concept of Molecular Marxism does not rule out the possibility of a Communist International, nor a federation of republics similar to the Soviet Union, nor a single self-contained socialism-in-one-country. Instead, it actively encourages every single subcategory of Marxism to consider the physical structures used by every other subcategory of Marxism: Trotskyism except in one country, Juche-socialism except with a Communist International, Maoism except with a supranational federation, and so on. The theoretical backing for this is meta-Marxism, the study of all Marxisms and ideological models of society as physical objects made of particular material elements. Meta-Marxism aims to produce Molecular Marxisms, but the exact contents of a Molecular Marxism are expected to vary depending on the region or population of people, given that every definable population of people has a different precise physical shape as well as different conditions for daily life.

One nuance that is important to remember is that the simple acceptance of multiple sectarian parties existing is not enough to constitute a Molecular Marxism. The point of acknowledging the existence of multiple parties is to attempt to predict and enact the eventual fusion of different movements or populations into larger structures such as a Communist International while also attempting to guard against these structures reverting into multiple entities. If there were a Molecular Trotskyism, it would already consider the creation of two Communist Internationals a kind of failure and seek to unify all workers' states, even if in the case of Trotskyism that might historically have meant attempting to take over the Third International and all its member states through underhanded means. When the core goals of Molecular Marxism are done correctly, complex ethical questions will come up. When Marxism is truly effective, and different fragmented proletariats actually come together, to what length is it acceptable to go to prevent the world transition to socialism from dissolving? Is it okay for Marxisms to simply start fighting each other over possession of the world, if they can't get along and integrate into each other peacefully as meta-Marxism advises? Should plural Marxist movements inside a country pursue unity with each other at all costs, or fight the Marxist sects that as far as anyone can tell are making unity impossible? If you feel like your party is totally safe from these kinds of questions, it has probably not become a Molecular Marxism yet.

The full details of Molecular Marxism and exactly how theories are supposed to "molecularize" to become theories fit for modern times under meta-Marxism's hypotheses are still very much under research. This is one of the major reasons for this entire wiki: to build a basic working model of every major ideology and study how they all function as material objects and interact in order to build increasingly better working models of Molecular Marxisms. However, there are already a few important terms that can guide you to most of the background reading you would need to begin building meta-Marxist models: quantum mechanics, relativity, determinism in physics versus determinism with multivariable functions, and historical materialism versus the subject and existentialism-related philosophies. (You should be able to find extensive existing materials on almost all of these, with the possible exception of relativistic determinism, which may be hiding under tens of different names if any existing science articles happen to mention it.)

Molecular Marxisms and anarchism

Within meta-Marxist models, there are a few concepts or motifs that come up which appear to resemble anarchism. Notably, the term "molecular" may sometimes be used to suggest the concept of separate free-floating individual objects interacting together through nothing but themselves to produce objects and processes without external intervention. Within the meta-Marxist framework the intended connotation of these kinds of terms is that every single physical object operates under physics or something highly resembling it — even in the case of people and social graphs, which are hypothesized to operate under their own scale of societal physics. When small-scale processes composed of clouds of individuals or clouds of social groups are described as "molecular" and compared to particle interactions in organic chemistry or quantum physics, the comparison is not meant to be a flowery metaphor to be interpreted multiple ways, but is instead meant to be largely literal, saying that the mathematics of actual molecules and the mathematics of human societies either literally show the same patterns or show only small literal similarities while in other ways departing from each other entirely.

In short, meta-Marxism and molecularization are strictly Materialist forms of analysis. The concepts of dialectical materialism are honored by reconstructing them through the basic mathematical concepts of special relativity in order to produce existential materialism and "fine-grain" the dialectical materialist framework; the concepts of historical materialism are honored by starting at physical models of spacetime and existential-materialist models of social links in order to represent historical periods as sequential or parallel material objects. Meta-Marxism leaves little room for considering ideas themselves as objects that physically act in the material world without first identifying particular physical objects which allow them to be encoded into the physical world (brains, books, socially-linked groups of individuals specifically linked together on condition of accepting the idea) and then giving at least some hypothesis as to how.

Toward this end, and this end specifically, meta-Marxism may sometimes describe processes that take place "outside The State", in order to literally explain how objects which come to be in conflict with a current State or republic can ever come to exist when a republic superficially appears to cover everything inside it (in order to descriptively model the historical emergence of Communist revolutions, Trotskyist movements, or anarchisms), or may describe processes that create stationary combinations of heterogeneous elements that come together materially in a single physically-described social structure in order to model history as the formation, destruction, and transformation of small-scale structures. All of this is an artifact of meta-Marxism attempting to fine-grain the concept of modeling history to the point that historical materialism can accurately and impartially represent all ideologies and political factions and give an honest assessment of which ones are the most effective at their goals. Meta-Marxism could in theory be used to create a "meta-anarchist" model of how to successfully build a particular anarchism, or how to operate each of some number of parallel Marxisms and anarchisms so that the Marxisms could achieve peaceful coexistence with the anarchisms, but this in itself does not mean that meta-Marxism particularly endorses anarchism over Marxism.

With this in mind, one way to look at meta-Marxism is that it is a total replacement for anarchist theories. Anarchist philosophy frequently appeals to small-scale concepts including the individual and "the community", but outside that it almost inevitably descends into nebulous and difficult-to-understand Idealist models of how exactly all of its small-scale elements are supposed to go together. In the worst cases, the process of creating anarchy will be modeled as disparate clouds of nebulous non-physical ideals connecting through nebulous non-physical intuition-processes to form nebulous incomprehensible result states. In these situations, the purpose of meta-Marxism would be to take every one of these vaguely-described processes and replace them with actionable material models, thus either ending up with a molecularized anarchism or a Molecular Marxism. At the point an anarchism is molecularized by turning it into Materialism, the difference between these two categories of civilizations or societies would be small enough that the distinction between "Marxism" and "anarchism" might not even matter any more — in terms of the two coming into conflict over different underlying worldviews, both would have become "violet" philosophies working toward the same goal and they no longer would. A Molecular Marxism is statist in that it would have realistic models of when States emerge and be willing to create a State for the purpose of ending wars and doing diplomacy. However, a Molecular Marxism does not seek or promise the ability to assert itself as better than other countable physical instances of Marxism or govern those instances. Molecular Marxisms seek to create an anarchy of countable instances of Marxism in approximately the same sense that early Liberal republics created anarchies (parliaments and constitutions) composed of countable local states. In some senses, there is nothing about a Molecular Marxism that should be disagreeable to anarchists, at least if they are blue anarchists; it creates an orderly system with particular principles in which people are grouped into identities and then the identities peacefully join together to combine into a stationary combination of equal heterogeneous elements, the major difference with charcoal anarchisms being that this "anarchy" process can happen at a large scale rather than primarily at town-sized scales. As well, compared with Trotskyism, Molecular Marxisms do not assume they will all appear at the same time or combine into a single officialized structure; they plan for long drawn-out processes of assembling modular federations, and for the possibility of several "poles" of federation assembling separately before any era of potentially forming a single global structure. In this sense Molecular Marxisms should theoretically be appealing in terms of the orange- and charcoal-anarchist concept of "decentralization". Molecularization means in literal terms that a proletarian civilization or anarchism forms around no particular center, although this "decentralization" is viewed specifically through the lens of special relativity and the material observation that no particular object in the universe is the single origin of time or events happening; "decentralization" is not taken as an abstract ideal to aspire to, but as the everyday reality that no particular movement in one corner of the world can operate physically or mentally on a movement happening on another side of the world, and thus must simply observe and model other countries while acting within its own region, sometimes even in the case of relatively small city-to-city scales. Meta-Marxism and Molecular Marxisms are not anarchism, but inasmuch as current theories of Molecular Marxisms are coherent or possible, Molecular Marxisms offer the option of either joining a Marxism which resembles every desirable part of anarchism that also makes physical sense, or of joining an anarchism and coexisting alongside Marxisms.

Usage notes

Item dimensionality

Molecular Marxism is coded as an S1 Signifier Item because at this time it is completely hypothetical; it is nothing more than a non-fictional motif in one known philosophy text. If Molecular Marxism somehow successfully became a whole tradition of Marxist theorists or hypothetically had any associated movements, it would become a Z Item.

1992 (pronounced nineteen ninety-two) as undefeatable

The number "1992 (pronounced nineteen ninety-two)" is a figurative reference to the concept of Marxism-Leninism continuing after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was forcibly dissolved in 1991 (pronounced nineteen ninety-one). The End of History and the Last Man was, coincidentally, published in 1992 (pronounced nineteen ninety-two). Referencing this particular decade, "1991 (pronounced nineteen ninety-one)" is used in various Item numbers to symbolize anticommunism. Accordingly, "1992 (pronounced nineteen ninety-two)" is used to symbolize what happens after anticommunism — for instance, Marxism enduring through and rebuilding itself, or the return of dialectical materialism or historical materialism.
