    I’m saying that the transition phase being authoritarian is a mistake. Power always corrupts people, and the only way to make sure a worker’s revolution doesn’t end up failing is to implement a democratic transition government. Everyone gets a vote, and can run for and hold office. And anyone who has ever owned or managed a large bussiness or has ever accumulated a net worth of one million USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) or more is banned from holding office. Worker’s rights should be entrenched into a constitution, and cannot be redefined unless 3/4 of the people agrees on it.

    That’s how I think it should be. Not some “communist party” that would become the new bourgeoisie as soon as the old one is eliminated.

      Your understanding of communism is fundamentally flawed… Democracy is indispensable to socialism.
