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.
I just don't understand why we cannot trust ourselves to exact political change instead of some state who is incapable (on every level) of representing each of our individual interests.
I don't care who the rulers look like. I don't care what their class background is. I don't care to chase some mythic "enlightened" ruler.
I only care what I care about and that's why communism not only works but can only be effectively pursued on an individual basis.
