  • You didn't do the reading :(. Dictatorship of the proletariat is a concept Marx and Engles adopted. Stalin didn't create it.

    I don't know what you think the proletariat taking control of the state is suppose to look like, but there will always be a communist party involved. The mechanisms of power exist to be ruled by a party.

    Communist parties should be judged by what they do for their poorest citizens. With that in mind, AES countries are doing a decent job. Things get better when they are in power, and get way worse if they are overthrown





  • Based on your answer, I've discovered what tankie means: Tankie = Marxist.

    Successful Marxist movement results in a dictatorship of the proletariat. Dictator = tankie.

    Hence tankie is a term used to describe any Marxist.

    Thanks for contributing to this scientific breakthrough!
