Dimitrov extremely based as always

is this real communist infighting

maoists vs train-lovers

the trains were liberals

It seems like something thats only really useful for communist parties in power, outside like serving as some kind of theoretical justification or whatever for the excesses of the purge, for example

openly calling it the “dictatorship of the proletariat” leaves open the possibility of an outward dictatorship

Theres also Dimitrov’s definition of fascism as the open, terroristic dictatorship of finance capital, with the difference between liberal and fascist is whether the bourguoise hide their rule behind parliamentary democracy. Perhaps you could have an open, terroristic dictatorship of the proletariat in response to crisis (ex. the great purge, the cultural revolution, war communism, ect) and a more hidden dictatorship of the proletariat (modern china)

War communism? It’s not exactly the same concept but I could see the terminology fitting.

Did he really get a choice though? The CPC told him to use his wealth to pay debts, and he’s getting money to do that by selling his properties and art.

mao-khrushchev cooperation? what year was this?
