The DOTP Refers to a a socialist state in which the working class, has control of political power.

"This dictatorship consists in the manner of applying democracy, not in its elimination, but in energetic, resolute attacks upon the well-entrenched rights and economic relationships of bourgeois society, without which a socialist transformation cannot be accomplished. This dictatorship must be the work of the class and not of a little leading minority in the name of the class – that is, it must proceed step by step out of the active participation of the masses; it must be under their direct influence, subjected to the control of complete public activity; it must arise out of the growing political training of the mass of the people." - Rosa Luxemburg

I see. Have you done much research on the "Paris Commune"? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_commune

It's considered by many to be a prime example of the DOTP, Engels said this I believe.

By no means can we assume, or even think, that the USSR, Cuba, China, etc. had a DOTP. They didn't. So I hope you don't base your decision on the misbelief that these places had it.

I ask: do you believe in the immediate abolition of the state after the revolution occurs, or do you agree with Marx on the "Dictatorship of the proletariat"?

This will, basically, tell you if you are an anarchist or Marxist. In which case you can explore the anarchist tendencies, or the Marxist tendencies.

I would Suggest giving the following a read:
- Marxism or Leninism?
- The Russian Revolution
- The Mass Strike
- The Junius Pamphlet

Shamelessly promoting Luxemburg like a g.

Glad to see you drop the Stalinism. If you want to chat about tendencies, or Luxemburg I'm up for it

PS: Why anarchy?
