Usage notes[edit]
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.)
Item dimensionality[edit]
Molecular Marxism is coded as an S1 Signifier Item because at this time it is completely hypothetical; it is only 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.
