>>4897618>sounds like the same shit lenin preached and look how that worked outHow it worked out? It transformed a completely broken and decimated shithole into the fastest growing nation in history AND the 2nd largest superpower AND first to reach and come back from space in less than half a century, and after the biggest world war that destroyed most of the infrastructure on its European side nonetheless.
It has worked marvelously, but after the death of Stalin, revisionists took office and changed the worker's paradise in the works into a state capitalist society. It fell because the US government has indirectly sabotaged with its economy and staged the elections to make sure it says dead, and twenty years later in an ironic twist of fate, they're crying about Russian interference in their democracy.
>I don't think a violent revolution is necessaryA revolution is necessary. Society and rules are made to the benefit of the right-wing bourgeoisie, and they will fight to the end to disfranchise any reformist socialist like Chavez and social democrats like Corbyn and Sanders.
Destroying the system and building it from the grounds up is the only solution.
>I think that just scares people offObviously, but what can you do? Let them continue to suffer under the oppressive system? It's better to create a government that works in the people's interest and not the rich.
>foreign powers are liable to exploit the perceived weakness in the stateAnd that's why you must do like the Bolsheviks and Mao's army; keep fighting the supported counter-revolutionaries at all costs.
>it just ends up as a regular ol' communist dictatorship with a planned economyThe dictatorship is entirely composed of workers, or in other words, it was a Soviet Democracy. It works exactly like how my government and yours function with representatives that you vote for.
Even Albert Einstein loved planned economies, by the way, and I already stated why the USSR fell; by empowering greedy traitors
