    Lenin ditched that in favour of vanguardism and the rest is history.

    “Classless society”

    look inside

    the political elite has assumed the role of the capitalist class

      yeah, it’s a shame great man Lenin betrayed everyone by not pressing the communism button as soon as Bolsheviks and proletariat took state power, didn’t use mind control magic on the entire world to ensure a global proletarian revolution and immediately made the state irrelevant so it withered away

      almost as if the form that proletariat power takes shape in is irrelevant to the “withering away of the state” concept, if you took the time to read anything about it you’d see that it’s predominantly economic transformation that matters

          No you see anarchkiddies are stupid for helping people and the real socialists read theory and ignore horrors around them.

          Famously that’s how they got things done.

        Ah sorry, should’ve specified “Dictatorship of the proletariat” instead, my bad. If the dictatorship is a handful of dudes in a mansion dictating stuff with impunity while gulaging everyone who disagrees, spoiler allert, it’s not a dictatorship consisting of the entire working class. That’s not proletariat power.

        And do tell what incentive this ruling class has to induce the economic transformation which would diminish their position of power within the society?
