Unfortunately this mindset is so common that even most "Marxist" movements have corrupted the "to which according to his needs" to "which according to his work/contributions".

Reminder that, the elites don't contribute, EVER

That's immaterial to the fundamental right to have access to basic needs.

Marxists movements have not corrupted it, you just haven’t studied Marxism, specifically Marx’s Critique of the Gotha Programme, from which that phase came.

The end goal is the “higher phase” of communism, in which it is to be, “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.”

However, before reaching the end goal of communism, one must go through the “lower phase” of socialism, wherein it is, “to each according to his contribution.” But even so, in this phase the state is still to provide a social safety net for those unable to work.

Communism has not been yet been reached, as any communist party of any socialist state will tell you themselves. It’s a long-term project, and it probably can’t be reached until socialism has been spread around the world, because as long as capitalist/imperialist states exist, they will attack the socialist states.

You know when can we provide enough food, clothing, shelter, and healthcare for everyone? Now. That argument has not been valid for decades.

Yes, and people in socialist states are fed, clothed, housed, and cared for now.

That argument has not been valid for decades.

What argument, and what invalidated it?
