Scientific communism
Scientific communism (Russian: научный коммунизм, romanized: nauchny kommunizm), is one of three major elements of Marxism–Leninism. The communist literature defines it as "the science dealing with general socio-political laws and patterns, ways, forms and methods of changing society" along communist lines, according to the historical mission of the proletariat (the proletarian revolution); in other words, it is the science regarding the "working-class" struggle and the social revolution, about the supposed "laws behind the building of socialism and communism, and about the world revolutionary process as a whole".
