Antagonistic contradiction ( Chinese language: 矛盾; pinyin: máo dùn) is the impossibility of compromise between different social classes. The term is most often applied in Marxist theory, which holds that differences between the two primary classes, the working class/ proletariat and the bourgeoisie are so great that there is no way to bring about a reconciliation of their views. Because the groups involved have diametrically opposed concerns, their objectives are so dissimilar and contradictory that no mutually acceptable resolution can be found. Nonantagonistic contradictions may be resolved through mere debate, but antagonistic contradictions can only be resolved through struggle. ...more on Wikipedia about "Antagonistic contradiction"
Anti-Germans are left-extreme activists and groups coming out of the antifascist Left in Germany that are united in their call for a solidarity with Israel based on Marxism. The decisive point in their agenda is that they don't focus on Class War and the Labor Movement, but instead view the international system and its dynamics of development from the angle of the Marxist philosophy of history and the Critical Theory. From this point of view, the European Enlightenment is largely unfinished business. The Anti-Germans presume that any global transformation to communism can only happen with and not against the de-facto forces of the Enlightenment. Thus they reject Anti-imperialism, which they see as the current mainstream inside Marxism. According to the Anti-Germans, Anti-imperialism has nothing to do with the opus of Karl Marx, but instead is similar to Nazism. While Anti-imperialism complains that U.S. foreign policy is interest-driven, the Anti-Germans argue that according to Marx this is the normal way of any policy. The anti-imperialist call for an unselfish policy is said to reflect the slogan " Altruism overrides Egoism" from the NSDAP platform. ...more on Wikipedia about "Anti-German (ideology)"

Autonomism, or Autonomist Marxism is a left wing political movement and theory. Autonomism (autonomia) emerged in Italy in the 1960s from workerist (operaismo) communism. Later, post-Marxist and anarchist tendencies became significant after influence from the Situationists, the failure of the Italian revolutionary era in the 1970s and the emergence of a number of important theorists including Antonio Negri. It influenced the German and Dutch autonomen, the worldwide Social Centre movement, and today is influential in Italy, the United States and some other English speaking countries. Those who describe themselves as 'autonomists' now vary from workerist marxists to post-structuralists and (some) anarchists. ...more on Wikipedia about "Autonomist Marxism"

It refers to the practice of dividing people by nationality, race, ethnicity, or religion, in order to make them hate (and possibly fight) each other.

In politics, centrism usually refers to the political ideal of promoting moderate policies which land in the middle ground between different political extremes. Most commonly, this is visualized as part of the one-dimensional political spectrum of Left-Right politics, with centrism landing in the middle between left-wing politics and right-wing politics. However, there is arguably more than one dimension to politics, so even the center has its own radicals as exemplified by radical centrist politics. ...more on Wikipedia about "Centrism"

Comrade Che is a website dedicated to the memory of Marxist Revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara. The site was born when members of the Che-Lives.com message board became disenchanted with the forums, due to the large presence of Trotskyists, Anarchists and Libertarian Marxists and the hostility shown towards Stalinists by the moderators and Administrators. Because of this, the forums on Comradeche.com are dominated by Marxist-Leninists, although they do not ban or restrict members who have opposing political beliefs to them, so there are some anarchists and trotskyists registered as members to the forum. ...more on Wikipedia about "Comrade Che"
Criticisms of communism can be divided in two broad categories: Those concerning themselves with the practical aspects of 20th century Communist states, and those concerning themselves with communist principles and theory. Although they often overlap in practice, the two categories are logically distinct. One may agree with communist principles but disagree with many policies adopted by Communist states (and this is quite common among communists, particularly in the case of Trotskyists), or, more rarely, one may agree with policies adopted by Communist states but disagree with communist principles. ...more on Wikipedia about "Criticisms of communism"

The embourgeoisement thesis is the argument that, contrary to the class conflict theory of Karl Marx (1818-1883), increasing numbers of what might traditionally be classified as working class people are coming to assume the lifestyle and individualistic values of the so-called middle classes, and hence reject commitment to collective social and economic goals. The opposite would be class consciousness. ...more on Wikipedia about "Embourgeoisement thesis"
Empire is an influential Marxist text written by Antonio Negri and Michael Hardt. The book was published in 2000 and immediately became a bestseller.
