57. Trotsky was wrong.

At the Congress Trotsky rounded on the Workers' Opposition:

"They have come out with dangerous slogans. They have made a fetish of democratic principles. They have placed the workers' right to elect representatives above the Party. As if the Party were not entitled to assert its dictatorship even if that dictatorship temporarily clashed with the passing moods of the workers' democracy!"

Trotsky spoke of the "revolutionary historical birthright of the Party":

"The Party is obliged to maintain its dictatorship...regardless of temporary vacillations even in the working class...The dictatorship does not base itself at every given moment on the formal principle of a workers' democracy..."

We have literally nothing in common with fucking laissez-faire capitalists. Nothing. Literally. The idea that this is actually being proposed by so called socialists is beyond comprehension. Read this post I made to see what so called Libertarians say and what they mean. They are kings among kings of doublespeak and misinformation: http://www.democraticunderground.com/100278930
