minus-squareflora_explora@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·22 days agoHm, so if you don’t want to use the term vanguard anymore, how are you going to talk about the seizing of power by a small authoritarian group during a revolution?

minus-squarenovibe@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·22 days agoThat doesn’t happen though. What we saw were rightwing counterrevolutionaries taking over the USSR, China etc. But historically it’s a great mischaracterization of all socialist revolutions to say they were “overtaken by authoritarians”. All revolutions are “authoritarian”.
