'''Productive forces''', '''productive powers''', or '''forces of production''' (German: ''Produktivkräfte'') is a central idea in [[Marxism]] and [[historical materialism]].
{{HXG}}
 
In [[Karl Marx]] and [[Friedrich Engels]]' own critique of political economy, it refers to the combination of the means of labor(tools, machinery, land, infrastructure, and so on) with human labour power.
 
Together with the social and technical relations of production, the productive forces constitute a historically specific mode of production.
 
The productive forces are the unity of means of production and labour:
 
# All labour (individual, union)
# Instruments of production (buildings, machines)
# Subjects of production (raw materials, labor)
 
== Modern uses ==
While the definition of productive forces hasn't changed, it's become a popular term in recent decades as the [[People's Republic of China]] (PRC) has been emphasizing increasing their economy's productive forces in order to advance to higher stages of socialism, and eventually to the lofty ideal of communism, where there is immense material abundance.
 
=== Deng Xiaoping ===
[[Deng Xiaoping]], the former leader of China, wrote about the productive forces, writing about how the implementation of market socialism would help China to liberate and develop its productive forces.<ref>[https://dengxiaopingworks.wordpress.com/2013/03/18/there-is-no-fundamental-contradiction-between-socialism-and-a-market-economy/ There Is No Fundamental Contradiction Between Socialism and a Market Economy]</ref>

ANTI-REVISIONIST ACTION
This page has been hijacked by Anti-revisionists and removed of its fascistic and reactionary content.
"[...] Revisionism, which is capitalism in a new form, the enemy of the unity of peoples, the inciter of reactionary nationalism, of the drive towards and establishment of the most ferocious fascist dictatorship which does not permit even the slightest sign of formal bourgeois democracy. Revisionism is the idea and action which leads the turning of a country from socialism back to capitalism, the turning of a communist party into a fascist party, it is the inspirer of ideological chaos, confusion, corruption, repression, arbitrarily, instability and putting the homeland up for auction."
