R5: Farabundo Marti is promoting Banking Reforms
33
Marx believed that a central bank was necessary
31
Yes, Marx believed in a single, workers' state-run bank. But the thing is, these banking reforms aren't nationalizing the banks in El Salvador and centralizing them into a single, state bank, if you read that focus' description it merely means that the banking system in El Salvador would loosen up the the very strict financing terms it has, to make it easier for citizens to get loans and financing for making new businesses, in addition to that, the economic focus tree for El Salvador is divided into two mutually exclusive paths, the 'A Socialist Economy' path, and the 'Sticking to the Basics' path, the 'Banking Reforms' focus being in the latter, which isn't the socialist economy path, but rather the one that sticks to capitalism and turning El Salvador into a trade-based economy. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

From Marx.
The proletariat will use its political supremacy to wrest, by degree, all capital from the bourgeoisie, to centralise all instruments of production in the hands of the State, i.e., of the proletariat organised as the ruling class; and to increase the total productive forces as rapidly as possible. Of course, in the beginning, this cannot be effected except by means of despotic inroads on the rights of property, and on the conditions of bourgeois production; by means of measures, therefore, which appear economically insufficient and untenable, but which, in the course of the movement, outstrip themselves, necessitate further inroads upon the old social order, and are unavoidable as a means of entirely revolutionising the mode of production. These measures will, of course, be different in different countries. Nevertheless, in most advanced countries, the following will be pretty generally applicable.
- Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
- A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
- Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
- Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels. 5. Centralisation of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
- Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
- Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
- Equal liability of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
- Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country.
- Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labour in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, &c, &c.
Chapter II. Proletarians and Communists, The Communist Manifesto
Either Marx isnt a real socialist or you haven't read your literature.

These are specific recommendations that Marx thought apppiciable to the situation of 1848 lol.

They wouldn't exist under socialism, but would probably exist in the first period of the DotP/workers' state, Lenin also reaffirmed that in 1917 in 'The Impending Catastrophe and How to Combat It'. Whether you agree with it or not doesn't change the fact Marx did say it, although I do agree Marx more often than not meant lower-stage communism when talking about socialism, and not the DotP.

Isn't the DOtP lower stage, since it still involves a state, class (the proletariat are "in charge" but distinct classes still have yet to be swept aside) and (possibly) money?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you/the concept?

Syndicalism with Laissez-faire characteristics
