Do you believe in a huge bureaucracy then? Why not soviets or syndicates? That way the whole of the revolutionaries can address reactionaries.

To some extent, I don't mind a vanguard, but after the revolution their is no use for it. The purpose is to spread communism globally. Besides, in the West, if Communism succeeds, we face little to no foreign intervention.

Given the fact that all these 'leaders' who were nothing but theorists, now have complete control of your comrades destinies. Since one is perceived to be 'above' the populace, how can they decide what is best for the proletariat?

Or, better yet, you win the Power ball and you've now received 500 million dollars, are you going to change?

Wouldn't we all? But, let's use materialism for the sake of argument, OK? So you're the leader of the proletariat state, your material conditions have changed, thus, so do you. Given the fact your toil is merely political and not manual labor oriented, don't you think your outlook on life will change?

I'm only pro-state if I'm the run running it. Which won't happen, so, I am an Anarchist. I'll look at his works later on tonight, though.

How consistent though is your position with Left Communism? I know the ICC are very big on the State Capitalist theory.

You make the point about sale of labour. Could it not be argued that there was forced sale of labor? I don't think forced obligation to work prevents a society from being Capitalist, for instance in WW2 unmarried women were conscripted into the workforce, they had to work.

Ticktin does strongly argue that many characteristics of private Capitalism were missing. I'm not convinced though that this meant society was not Capitalist since workers did still collect some sort of wage.

I can see now that'll I'll disagree with most of the works based solely on the titles of his works.

I'm holding, lol

At the end of chapter 1. Haven't read it in about a week. I need to look at some Bordiga writings so we can possibly debate about that sometime soon.
