But the central state apparatus applies to all bourgeois societies, because it is inherent in Capitalism. It is the idea of the concentration of power is not applicable with a communist society because the idea of centralisation itself constitutes a state class, who will in turn reform themselves into the new bourgeoisie. We must deconstruct such structures because they are not applicable to a worker-ran democratic society. To truly have working class power. We must have accountable and autonomous bodies which control their own decisions.

Well you could say our definition of the state is simplistic. Some of the things we advocate could be considered as a workers state of sorts. But the state to us is defined by the centralisation of political authority. There is a good thread on it in the Anarchist usergroup.

I don't understand what you mean quite by the fetishization of decentralisation. It is just central to the idea of working class power. You describe alternative organs such as factory committees and workers councils but these are redundant unless they each have power.

Ok thanks for your elaboration. But in relation to your comment on our historical analysis, I don't think it is particularly underdeveloped or simplistic. It is just a tendency to side with the working class over centralised state authorities. As a Luxemburgist your analysis must not be that different from ours surely?

Christ your posts are great. We need some more Foucaultians on this board.

Nice one for joining the football group. Do you have a team?

Haha, that's genius.

By chance, yes. I cross-posted that to a lot of forums to see if there were any economically informed rightists on the Internet. I haven't found any yet.

Thanks for the thanks.
