As I said above "I never read Marx, I was just born in Eastern Europe and I used to hear that phrase a lot as a child."
What was supposed to be the decision making mechanism of ideal Communism if not a dictatorship of top to bottom decisions? How did Soviets (councils) work or supposed to work? A consensus of the majority - aka Democracy? I don't think so.
- icebraining 9y agoMarx was dead before Soviets ever appeared. If you want to read on a society he actually knew and praised, search for the Paris Commune.
- boomboomsubban 9y ago>How did Soviets (councils) work or supposed to work? A soviet is supposed to be an elected legislative assembly, like a senate or parliament. The true soviets died with the Bolshevik coup, when Lenin declared them unnecessary now that his party was in charge. A military coup was what set up a dictatorship, and that is hardly unique to communism.
