What do you mean "not like this?"

The dictatorship of the proletariat is not the end of the class struggle, but its continuation in new forms. The dictatorship of the proletariat is the class struggle of the proletariat, which has won victory and has seized political power, against the bourgeoisie, which although vanquished has not been annihilated, has not disappeared, has not ceased its resistance, has increased its resistance.

The number of people is the problem. The more people there are in a general location, the more dangerous people there will be, which will increase the need for prisons, police, etc. If societies were to divide themselves into smaller groups then the need for police, prisons, etc, would be lowered or even eliminated, but most people would have to be convinced to organize their communities this way, which I don't see happening any time soon, so this solution isn't very realistic.

We all know prisons didn't always exist, but they exist now, and they exist for a reason. Have you ever considered that the reason prisons didn't exist in the past and they do now is because the material conditions of the past were different than they are now, and thus different systems that weren't needed in the past are now required? Less people made up communities in the past, so prisons weren't really required to handle rule breakers, unlike in our modern large communities.

The problem with #anarchism is that it's idealistic and thus incompatible with reality, which is how you get #anarchists advocating for such things as the abolition of prisons (because they're "objectively evil"), but instead of taking the materialist (i.e., correct) route of examining reality to determine whether it's practicable now (it isn't), they instead take the idealistic (wrong) route of trying to shape reality to their idea of what the world should be no matter how unrealistic it is.

One (among many) of the reasons I stopped being an #anarchist is the topic of prisons and the extremely idiotic answers other #anarchists gave when asked how society could be kept safe if all violent prisoners were released and if violent individuals weren't sent to prison, ranging from, "if they cause trouble, we'll deal with it (how?)," "prisons are objectively evil (not true and a non-answer)", "rehabilitation (which doesn't work on everyone)", and just more idiocy and non-answers. #anarchism

Don't just blame your boss and rich capitalists for your poverty, exploitation, and oppression. You must ultimately blame the capitalism itself. The exploitation, oppression, and poverty you witness and experience are inherent byproducts of capitalism. Bosses and the rich capitalists, while obviously sharing some responsibility, are often used as scapegoats by liberals to distract people from criticizing capitalism and instead criticize individual people when the problem is systemic.

I've read quite a few of Stalins' books (about 10 or so), and to me personally they've been very well-written and are very educational, especially "Foundations of Leninism," which is one of my favorites.

@lutzray

This is a beautiful sounding song, but what's its relation to the poll? The description is all in French.

@Jyoti

This is also a good introductory book to the philosophical concepts of Marxism, such as dialectical and historical materialism.

@Radical_EgoCom @MostlyHarmless As long as the top tax rate is 94%, like it was in 1945,I think people should be able to make as much money as they can

@MostlyHarmless

This isn't good enough. $999 million, even $1 million, is too much for a person to have. People shouldn't have more money than they need to survive.

@SordidAmok @MostlyHarmless

Extreme wealth, even if taxed heavily, still contributes to social inequality. I'm against social inequality and am therefore also against people making as much money as they want.

A worldwide working class revolution is very unlikely to happen. Let's just start with a revolution in our respective countries and see where it goes from there.
