I had a tankie tell my that same line of bullshit when they said that the only way to run a dictatorship of the proletariat was through a literal Lenin style dictatorship, and not any form of democracy.

Which is just insane.

Read more theory, and you come across the Levelers, and more pointedly, the Diggers.

The Diggers were completely in favor of abolishing basically everything, money, government, kings and lords, property ownership. All of it in favor of an extreme Christian communism, They also advocated for forced labor for lazy malcontents, who they did not define as the poor or the destitute.

The English civil war was wild. It laid the groundwork for Marx, and the American and French revolutions. Sadly, the English never could get it together and ditch the monarchy completely.

God, it's so refreshing being on a thread where we all hate tankies
