Which parts exactly?
Mostly the parts where autocracy doesn't liberate the workers. Even temporarily.
...As told to you by bourgeois funded academics
Every time I start to listen and learn from people more left than I am, they get to the part about how after revolution there's probably going to be a period of autocratic rule that should then dissolve by the will of the people. Except none of them talk about plans to actually facilitate the transfer of power, or better yet, prove Lenin wrong by not going thru a period of more authoritarianism.
And "communism has never been tried" is such a stupid word game.
They tried to try. What happened, fellas? How'd it go?
If anything, communism has been tried, but it's never been achieved. A stateless, classless, currencyless society still sounds frickin awesome... But that's not we've had :(
Right, the massive gap in Marxist theory is, and has always been, workable statecraft.
In Animal Farm, the pigs where instrumental in starting the animals' revolution, and directly after, the pigs never relinquished control.
That poor horse.
I dunno who down-voted you, but fuck that guy. Take my up vote.
The horse got done dirty.
ah yes, the famous "autocracy of the proletariat"
