    I said “decentralize power” in this case, yes, it would be a more centralized economic structure and a more centralized government, but it’s vastly less heirarchical, because it’s significantly more democratic, I think that’s still accurate, socialists don’t want to centralize everything, power in particular is something all socialists want to decentralize, because we want power to be in the proletariats hands, and the proletariat is many.

    Even in the case of a vanguard party, the ultimate goal is democratization of the economy/state.

    However, i am probably ALSO being nitpicky so whatever. Communists are a nitpicky bunch.

      Yea, like I said I believe we agree, I just felt like it risked someone seeibg it as the “Marx was basically an Anarchist” bit. Communists indeed are nitpicky, lol
