MLs and some Marxists in general think we’re too idealistic and utopian. Isn’t expecting the state to wither away by itself when it ceases to be useful pretty idealist? I really don’t understand why MLs think that would happen when it hasn’t happened at all in history.
because of examples from the Spanish war that I started to ask myself if aren’t strict authoritarian people more leaned towards wars, conquering and oppressing others, hence military history has been written mostly by these people. So it isn’t about being a better way for organizing for war, but that’s how conquerors act and organize. Just me wondering
Yeah, that is plausible. I think it is probably a mixture of things.
