       @Radical_EgoCom @ByronPendason hm... How exactly does having a Marxist-Leninist ideology lead to the formation of a new ruling class? Unless you're talking about the dictatorship of the proletariat, in which case I'd be interested so know how you would reach Communism without the transition phase where the proletariat is the ruling class.

       @Radical_EgoCom @ByronPendason that's oversimplifying a lot what happened in the Soviet Union. From Lenin until Gorbachev you had a war, decades of propaganda and increasingly revisionist at first then anti revolutionary leaders that led to its end. Also, the so called bureaucratization of socialist states is a classic imperialist propaganda. For instance, nothing was as bureaucratic than the Brasilian dictatorship, or anything involving the United States' governments.

       @Radical_EgoCom @ByronPendason Cuba, Laos, Vietnam are examples of Marxist-Leninist revolutions. Are they bureaucratic dystopias? I beg to differ.

       @Radical_EgoCom @ByronPendason what's the difference between what you call worker's councils and regional chapters of the party? Those which are, indeed, voted by the workers.

       @Radical_EgoCom @ByronPendason and you feel then that freely electing councils that affect the structure of the government months after the revolution has no chance of being coopted by the recently demoted bourgeoisie? I'm struggling to figure out how this wouldn't demolish the revolution in its infancy.
