No, I don't want cotton candy colored capitalist oppression. I want complete working-class liberation from capitalism. I want socialism.
Authoritarian communism is NOT our end goal. Grass pushing that boot up & some flowers growing out of the boot, is what we're working toward. Grassroots democracy does not put a boot on our necks. Capitalism does that.
A better name for it (authoritarian communism) would be state socialism since communism is stateless, and a state already implies the use of authority, and it isn't an endgoal at all. It's a transitional phase between capitalism and communism.
Yes. Love that distinction.
