World communism, also known as global or international communism, is a political theory envisioning an ultimate worldwide society that is classless, moneyless, stateless, and nonviolent. This long-term goal has historically been pursued by various "Internationals," including the First International and the Comintern (Third International), each proposing distinct methods. However, during the Stalin era (1927–1953), the theory of "socialism in one country" challenged the immediate global revolution, and subsequent post-WWII splits, like the Tito-Stalin and Mao-Khrushchev divides, further complicated the prospect. Despite the perceived "fall of communism" with the Revolutions of 1989 and the 1991 dissolution of the Soviet Union, international communist tendencies still persist among various groups. This ideology is rooted in the Marxist idea that capitalist exploitation necessitates global worker solidarity to achieve a peaceful, world communist future.
