Re: AUT: Argentina: Diary of a Revolution

["Nate Holdren" <nateholdren@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Scott-
I appreciate your questions on this thread. You said

"History shows that situations of dual power never last
long, let alone provide the stability in which
economic construction and the alleviation of suffering
can take place. Situations of dual power end either in
workers' revolution or in counter-revolution."

then you more or less define successful revolution as follows:

"[T]his alternative is precisely what Jordan
rejects - the seizure of power by the workers. When I
talk of workers' power I don't mean a gang of
bureaucrats ruling in workers' names, but rather the
replacement of the capitalist state by the organs of
dual power already waiting in the wings."

Can you name any examples of 'situations of dual power' which have ended in
workers' revolution that fits your criteria?
Thanks!

best,
Nate
