Everytime i try to get educated on the specifics of Marxism i am faced with an incredible vague description of what it entails, what it strives for and how it goes about trying to achieve it.
Emancipating the working class is a given, how it wants to do that seems to depend on who is explaining the subject. Do communists strive towards a society where everything is determined, produced, orchestrated, distributed by the working class? Do workers come together to democratically decide what is to be distributed, imported and exported? What would a Marxist society ideally look like?
Karl marx was a lazy psudointellectual brainlet that should never be in the history books for his ineligance if it wern't for lenin sucking him off.

I'm aware of that, i'm just asking how it goes about achieving it's ideals, and how it wants to realize these ideals and implement them.
Ethan Richardson
By force and coercion.

How would a society run by Marx look, ideally?
Jace Martinez
Marx wrote very little about what an ideal society should look like. He was primarily a theorist who analyzed capitalism. According to his analysis, capitalism would eventually collapse on its own due to internal contradictions.
Marxism is not a prescription. It is a diagnosis, a critical way of looking at the world.
Jacob Perez
Funny though, how every Marxist has a very specific way in which they want to mold society, I wonder where they got it from.
They ramble about a post scarcity Utopia and that magically satisfies everyone's "needs".
And he build it on false premises like the Labor Theory of Value for example.

Here’s all you need to know about Marx Himself a Jew, Marx has around him, in London and France, but especially in Germany, a multitude of more or less clever, intriguing, mobile, speculating Jews, such as Jews are every where: commercial or banking agents, writers, politicians, correspondents for newspapers of all shades, with one foot in the bank, the other in the socialist movement, and with their behinds sitting on the German daily press — they have taken possession of all the newspapers — and you can imagine what kind of sickening literature they produce. Now, this entire Jewish world, which forms a single profiteering sect, a people of blooksuckers, a single gluttonnous parasite, closely and intimately united not only across national borders but across all differences of political opinion — this Jewish world today stands for the most part at the disposal of Marx and at the same time at the disposal of Rothschild. I am certain that Rothschild for his part greatly values the merits of Marx, and that Marx for his part feels instinctive attraction and great respect for Rothschild.
This may seem strange. What can there be in common between Communism and the large banks? Oh! The Communism of Marx seeks enormous centralization in the state, and where such exists, there must inevitably be a central state bank, and where such a bank exists, the parasitic Jewish nation, which. speculates on the work of the people, will always find a way to prevail ....”

There is a long history of revolutionary socialism, predating even Marx himself.

Go research what a commune is and then imagine the whole world working like that. Communism (literally commune-ism you dolt) is simply saying that everything should be communal. No money, no hierarchies, no state, just one big global community where everyone works and consumes and fucks and dies. Yes, it is as retarded as it sounds.
Marx’s whole theory builds off the shitty assumption that all labor is equal. Now all commodities (things that satisfy the needs of mankind) cost human labor and their value is determined by how much labor it takes to produce them. Money comes in as a means of exchange for commodities but, in Marx’s view, this abstract monetary system results in workers getting the shaft for their work i.e. the wages they make are below the value of the commodity produced and the bourgeoisie who owns the capital required to produce these commodities is reaping the benefits.
Thus in order for the workers to get the full benefit of their labor and make sure nobody gets shafted... Marx formulated communism. Now everyone works but doesn’t get paid but that doesn’t matter because everything is free and shared anyways. Naturally this runs into a whole mess of problems when actually attempted so that’s why communist states end up authoritarian, in order to force the unwilling populace to adhere to such stupidity. Anyone who tries to end the madness is killed.
Marx's Capital was largely just a critique of capitalism. His concern was pointing out pitfalls in the economic system and making a philosophical claim against it. His life work doesn't say we should do X and Y in a society set up in this certain specific manner. It was more of a general claim that the society which abolishes capital is more just and free. Think of his significant contributions as being more anti-capitalist rather than communist.
Lots of neo-Marxists just seek to incorporate these anti-capitalist ideas into a new system that isn't necessarily communism. This is because communism is a distant ideal that's hard to actualize due it being moneyless, classless, and stateless. They might still hold communism as an ideal direction to continually pursue, but realize that it starts with a socialist state. Or, some modern Marxists envision something like a society in which competitive free markets are still allowed to persist, but corporations are worker-owned and democratically controlled.
Honestly, you should just read Capital. It's pretty straight-forward reading. Come to your own conclusions.
Gommunism was a jewish proto-psyop to silence shit like this.

everyone should be "the working class". marxism define labor in contrast with capital ownership. then, you get rid of the pseudo-spiritual nonsense, and only factor in the physical needs and motives. everyone is working, and everyone needs their basic needs fulfilled-- and that decent, basic lifestyle (without the typical few rich tricking the poor majority into thinking their wealth is achievable by anyone willing to try) is honest, and possible.
