Process (was Third Worldism



From: Yoshie F.



In all revolutions in practice, though, it's been the case that each class
and strata within it were politically divided (the degree of division
differing from class to class, the ruling class being the most united
class), and revolutions assumed the character of struggles between political
factions each of which consisted of multiple classes.  The dictatorship
therefore in practice meant the
dictatorship of one faction over the other factions, and its
traditional political vehicle was a one-party state in which other
parties and factions were either outlawed or at best tolerated.

^^^^^
CB; Wasn't the proletariat so small in the SU that it probably wasn't that
divided ? And then was there some actuality to the cross-class unity of the
"hammer and sickle" ?
