The specific structure of a state is a response to preserving the dynamics of material power.

Centralization will never result in the material decentralization of socialism. Sure, the means of production are taken from the bourgeoisie, but they're only replaced by the authoritarian state.

The new bourgeois class.

I guess what I'm trying to say is...the Nolan chart is shit in regard to praxis. It's only somewhat accurate when charting ideology.

Why compromise our path to communism by supporting those who slow us down?
@Rogo In some cases, adamantly opposing them can slow us down more than cautious good faith. Not because that changes the political landscape, but because time spent fighting with people who don't care is an impediment to the world we want to create
@Rogo Also, people work together on things, so some degree of parity is required. Not saying that's good or bad (it depends), but it happens, regardless
