"inner party" is a term from the world of Orwell's "1984", but something similar existed in the Nomenklatura of the Soviet Union - an upper class of people in leadership positions who had extensive privileges not available to the average person or even the average party member.
It all looks as if, regardless of the ideology of the people involved, once it actually gets power, as-built communism in a one-party state ends up structured an awful lot like feudalism...
- socialismisok 4y agoYeah, there's a reason I'm against one party states and vanguard party communism. (Aka Stalinists or "tankies"). I firmly believe that any communist state needs to be a democratic enterprise, organized locally in the vein of council communism or Anarcho communism.
- nailer 4y agoDo you dress in the regalia and carry the symbols of one party states and vanguard party communism?
- socialismisok 4y agoNope. I sometimes use rose motifs. I've got some hopeful images of friendly clasped hands surrounded by flowers that say things like "we win through ecosocialism". No big yellow stars, no big red flags. None of those military/guerilla style hats. I'm not opposed to hammer and sickle stuff, but I don't own any.
