Bruh lmfao do these people even read what they wrote?
“China has the world’s largest population and they overwhelmingly support their one party... it’s almost like that one party is working for them and that’s why... I think the secret to China’s tyranny is that they were poor and had the world’s largest population in poverty. China then lifted these people out of poverty and believe it or not, the people liked that! I wonder if people who lived in the Soviet Union were also happy to be lifted out of poverty? Anyway this is a success story of tyranny and not socialism.”
It may come as an absolute shock that this is from a post about Tiananmen Square but here’s a link to the comment lol have fun
This was half a joke but the words “tyranny” and “authoritarian” turn out to be trickier to apply than it seems.
But in a way yes, the vanguard guides the less aware through revolution until class consciousness is pervasive as a societal norm. Basically it’s breeding out the chuds so is that authoritarian? Some people would say yes I’m sure but it’s also inherently liberating.
Definitely read Lenin though he is great
