[QUOTE="RedViper, post: 17690781, member: 121063"] Yes, I believe that you might be right. I actually think that Lenin once said that socialism is "capitalism in the service of all the people" or something like that. I think that Lenin was aware of the fact that the bolsjeviks where prefering the half-feudal and agrarian Russia for capitalism. He might have believed that capitalism under the control of communists would be quick and relatively painfree...but capitalism did become the master rather than the slave. It is also important to realize that the proletarian revolution differs qualitively from the bourgeoise revolutions. At the time of the bourgeoise revolutions in France and America (for example), capitalism had already grown in to- and pushed away the old feudalism, and the only big task left for the bourgeoisie was to seize the state. The proletarians can however not seize the bourgeoisie state, they must destroy it. The communist revolution is not a political revolution, it is a social revolution...and it must mean a remodelation of the entire social totality. Re-organisation of production and work places, abolisation of all capital relations; the commodity production & commodity form, wage labour etc. [/QUOTE]
