The most common mistake of Stalin’s opponents was to underestimate how exceptionally well read he was...

So, user, have you already read the Manifesto?

Well, chans are like the newspapars of our time..right?

Chans and other forums have their uses, but they're no substitute for seriously studying theory and other things.

More like pubs, without physical btfo. This is a mixed blessing.

More like collective penpals

More like electronic toilet stall walls.

I'm like this but with hentai

Explains the thing with trots and newspapers

Because in the minds of all Leftists anyone who disagrees even partially is an illiterate mong that thinks books are just fancy toilet paper

...

Rly made me think

Au contraire. Stalin got Lenninism exactly right, and through his immense capabilities for work and intrigue, pushed to its logical, terrible conclusion.

what a fucking anticlimax

How much have you read, user?

Like the CNT-FAI got Anarchism exactly right and brought it to its logical conclusion by literally refusing to accept the power offered to them by the working class and failing to provide the new structures of government necessary to reorganize society, instead allowing the Republic to continue to exist and undermine them?

That's not really what happened. The CNT-FAI did take over in certain areas, so much that the Republic had to accept them initially. Then, Stalin came in.

The manifesto is garabage, and would have been long forgotten if it wasn't for the fact that Marx and Engels wrote it. If anyonr wants an easy introduction to Marx, read Value, Price and Profit.

Without soviets military precence CNT-FAI wouldn't have had the room to exist in the first place. They would've been instantly crushed by Franco.

And Marxism is not authoritarian?

Dictatorship of the Proletariat is called Dictatorship for a reason.

Nobody promised Democracy or Meritocracy of the Proletariat.

H-how about t-the "happy place of the p-proletariat," K-koba?

this

And the proletariat dictated that they want political and social freedom

requesting the "koba why do you need me to feel"

Need I remind you how democratic socialists of democratic Germany democratically surrendered their victory to create Weimar republic?

Yes

By all means, do

Oh, it's you again.


Lenin's point is precisely that the proletariat does not want political freedom. Of course, if you refer to Stalin systemizing Marxism into the "dogma" that is so often flung as Marxist, you'd be correct. This "ideology" was enforced with an iron will.

Lenin on the other hand, applied Marxism. False consciousness is not the exception - it is the rule. The proletariat does not want "communism", it does not want the negation of itself. It does not develop class consciousness, in its most heightened state it is a bastion of trade unions. Nothing more, nothing less.

My gott dont you how erroneous that line of thought is?

First of all, these "proletariat" you are talking about wouldnt be proletariat to begin with, but lumpens, as using Marx's term the lumpens have zero interest in class consciousness

Second, lumpenproletariats not wanting political freedom is none of our concern, as we, the proletariat, do not care about those class traitours

Third of all, a dictatorship over the lumpens following the vanguard movememt, which does not follow the guidelines of the proper proletariat revolution, is bound to fail, as it does not put the proletariats in power

The proletariats wants communism, as they are conscious about the classmsystem, the lumpens dont, empowerimg the lumpens is as farbaway from a dictatorship of the proletariat as bourgeoise democracy andnfeudalism

Missed the point a bit there, sweetheart
