I understand the party is in charge and those positions will change but in most socialist states there seems to be a permanent head ala Lenin, Stalin, Castro, the Kim’s etc.
Is this what Marx meant by dictatorship of the proletariat? Is it possible to have democratic communism? I’m new to all this but I’m finding it all really interesting. Sorry if this is a common question.
Do you think the term limits of the Russian Federation that exist now will cause problems for it in the future?
I honestly have no idea, I’m just aware that the current term limits have allowed Putin’s government to get Russia out of the post-USSR depression, and have kept the country out of the grips of the Western imperialists.
Maybe if someone comes into power after Putin leaves who leans towards Western interests, and if they’re not replaced by someone better, it could be bad. But at least at the moment, the current system is not the worst thing in the world.
That’s fair. I suppose Russia could always amend the constitution again if it was popular to do so.
