    No, the government. “The government” as you likely imagine it is in fact made up of 2 components. Thank you for enlightening me, Comrade…

    Is the government: The organ of administration and organisation necessary in all advanced societies.

    Yes, that is exactly what I said: for a government to function effectively in the sphere of social development, the dictatorship of the proletariat is absolutely essential!

    The right to vote on state decisions belongs to representatives drawn from the people—those elected at the local level. The right to a real vote. That is how it worked in the USSR during the 1930s.

    The only catch—as you well know—is that in the 1980s, the clause regarding the “dictatorship of the proletariat” vanished from the CPC Charter…

    “The oligarchs” (the bourgeoisie) are an issue due to the fact that in capitalist countries they control the state and rule over the other classes.

    And in socialist countries?.. )))

    The aim of communists is to seize control of the state and then wield it to repress and proletarianise the bourgeoisie until only a single class remains

    It was an agonizing process; to achieve this, the USSR had to pass through “War Communism.”
