    Again, Engels literally stated that administrators are necessary for large industry. There’s no difference between what Engels is describing here and the USSR’s model of Political Economy, driven by Soviet Democracy. The government controlling the economy via worker-led democratic soviets is fully in line with Socialism and Communism, which must be global. You’re making the same error as the Anarchists who wish the state abolished overnight.

    Really, this is going nowhere because you are unfamiliar or deliberately ignoring the makeup of AES from a democratic perspective, and redefining Socialism as the impossible status of “perfectly represents Marx’s principles.” Marx himself would laugh.

      Thank you for acknowledging this is going nowhere. As said multiple times, there are no perfection requirements, only an emphasis on aligning with Marxist principles. Beyond that, this has always been just forum posting, not a debate to win.

        AES does put an emphasis on following Marxist principles, when you made an assertion that I countered with clear evidence like the historical texts on how Soviet Democracy functioned and how the economy was run, you ignore them. This makes me think you care more for arguing than learning.
