| Term | Definition |
| ---------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| [Capitalism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism) | A system that allows private individuals to own the means of production, with the goal of extracting a profit from the sale of commodities produced by wage workers. |
| [Profit / Surplus Value](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surplus_value) | The difference between the value a worker adds, and the value that they receive and are able to use for themselves. This surplus value goes to another leeching party that controls production(capitalists, slavemaster, etc). `Surplus Value = Worker Value Added - Wage Paid`. Synonymous with unpaid labor, profit, exploitation, and wage theft. |
| [Communism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism) | A stateless, moneyless, and classless system where the means of production are democratically owned and controlled by the community, for the benefit of all. Wage labor is non-existent, and production is planned for human needs, rather than private profit. |
| [Socialism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism) | A range of social and economic systems characterized by social ownership of the means of production. It can also mean the transitional stage between capitalism and communism, sometimes referred to as the dictatorship of the proletariet. |
| [Anarchism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism) | A political philosophy that critiques hierarchical organization, and emphasizes free assocation. The main two branches are social anarchism, and individualist anarchism. |

| [Nationalism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalism) | An ideology which emphasizes nations(and often specific races living in those nations), self-governance, national identity, and patriotism over internationalism. Communists want working-class internationalism, but also defend the right of nations to be free from imperialism. |
| [Revolution](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolution) | A fundamental change in political power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time when the population rises up in revolt against the current authorities. In Marxism, a revolution is expropriation and smashing of existing property relations, with the proletariet being the only truly revolutionary class that can enact this social transformation. |
| [Praxis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praxis_(process)) | The act of engaging, applying, exercising, realizing, or practicing ideas. Theory in action. |
| [Surplus Value](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surplus_value) | The difference between the value a worker adds, and the value that they receive and are able to use for themselves. This surplus value goes to another leeching party that controls production(capitalists, slavemaster, etc). `Surplus Value = Worker Value Added - Wage Paid`. Synonymous with unpaid labor, profit, exploitation, and wage theft. |
| [Dictatorship of the Proletariet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictatorship_of_the_proletariat) | A transitional state of affairs, between capitalism and communism, in which the working class holds political power, and is in the process of changing the means of production from private, to social ownership. Dictatorship doesn't refer to an autocracy, but rather that the working class now dictates what happens in society. |
| [Dialectical Materialism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialectical_materialism) | The evolution of the natural world and the emergence of new qualities of being at new stages of evolution. It also recognizes that the mode of production is the main motive force of history, and contains contradictions (such as class struggle), whose resolution results in the development of new modes of production and social organization. |
| [Labor theory of value](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_theory_of_value) | A theory of value that argues that the economic value of a good or service is determined by the total amount of average socially necessary labor required to produce it, rather than by the use or pleasure its owner gets from it. |
