Can i see a source

@RobotWizard That's a common complaint among Trots and Anarchists. "Authoritarianism" means nothing to me in this regard as the revolution is not a tea party, and discipline is essential in ensuring the survival of the revolution. As for self-critique, democratic centralism as theorized by Lenin necessitates the free flow of ideas within the party.

The principle of democratic centralism and autonomy for local Party organisations implies universal and full freedom to criticise, so long as this does not disturb the unity of a definite action; it rules out all criticism which disrupts or makes difficult the unity of anaction decided on by the Party.

limiting the area of acceptable discourse to only the confines of the party is the problem

@chill with that shit

I cannot read russian sir

You want to have American source on Russian statistics imbecile?

I'm not gonna just go off a picture and words I can't read

what is counted as disruptive to that unity is defined by the party

I want an English source on russian statistics

@RobotWizard Once a democratic consensus has been reached, then yeah, anything contradicting that would be considered disruptive.

Translate it. You don't need translation. Can you count?

I will search near and far for a russian

The picture is no better then to other one of if cant read the shit

That's like me sending you proof the Holocaust didn't happen in german

@chill with that shit Well you can't read the source because the source is Russian.

Then I'll get someone who can

Simple

I can

I agree with the importance of democratic consensus but its pretty clear in the Soviet Union's or China's case that consensus was clearly forced through the use of violence

Ya but

It's your thing so you could be lying out your ass

It wasn't though. Soviet Democracy was based on Direct Democracy. In a Soviet democracy, voters are organized in basic units, for example the workers of a company, the inhabitants of a district, or the soldiers of a barracks. They directly send the delegates as public functionaries, which act as legislators, government and courts in one. In contrast to earlier democracy models according to Locke and Montesquieu, there is no division of powers. The councils are elected on several levels: At the residential and business level, delegates are sent to the local councils in plenary assemblies. These, in turn, can delegate members to the next level. The system of delegation continues to the Congress of Soviets at state level. The electoral processes thus take place from the bottom upwards. The levels are usually tied to administrative levels.
