Of course, discussing political ideology is "partisan"... Its exactly what we're talking about.
And no, they're not just talking points, it's literally how we describe the various systems of political ideology... Reich Wingers look to construct a society around control and subservience. And, like I said, the question of "who" to obey, and how strictly people are to be controlled are what differentiates the various Reich Wing ideologies.
Reich Wing ideology, the entire thing, relies on subservience and deference to authority. The difference in the various flavors of it are just how much and who.
Marx started to rework (greatly) his ideas of "The state" and if it should be seized or abolished early. He started leaning to "abolished quickly, and early".
Nothing in there contradicts what I said here... There's not fascist about preventing fascism from taking root. You're making the same mistake made in "On Authority", and calling revolutions where the people cast off their chains of oppression as "Authoritarian"...
I'm going out on a limb here, and guessing you have a high end video card that is causing probably 99% of your problems, likely an NVidia.
I'm using KDE on MXLinux on a old macbook, and I don't have these graphical glitches you mention.
Oh, I get what Marx had said... Marx also changed his view post Paris Commune. He started down the track that its impossible to abolish the state, after concentrating all power in the state, as those holding power will never give it up.
And yes, governance is not the state, and yes, Marx later agreed with that point, as well.
Fascism has a very clear definition. And who decides the malcontents? That's also easy: Are you trying to harm people? Then you are a malcontent.
You are attempting to obfuscate the discussion here. We all know what fascism is. We also all know its wrong to hurt people.
I'd cut the booze, but yeah, I toke up. A lot.
Communism requires no state, no class, and no money. So, yes, all communist theory calls for the abolishment of the state.
Lenin started the authoritarianism of the USSR by 1923
Lenin started earlier than that... It started almost right after the Black Army aided the Red Army to defeat the White Army... The Red Army turned around, and murdered workers in the Black Army, because "They didn't do socialism, and went right to implementing full communism"...
Chiapas doesn't seem to be failing. Going on 30 years now. Rojava isn't failing either, due to it's system, but rather being attacked on the regular by imperialist nations like Russia and the US.
I never said he was an anarchist, and I never said he claimed it should or could be done in a single stroke.
Scientific Socialism requires one to learn from the past, and adapt as needed. It doesn't mean a dogmatic prescription of "how".
