    When compared to most other marxist they were far less democratic. I cannot speak to their hidden cares. But they very much upheld the idea of stupid mass of workers that needs to be told what to do.

    The point is that the commities only became centralized after they were attacked. I dont know how else to say this. They were not like the bolsheviks initially.

    Well I have only adopted your methods. Its almost as insane as trying to argue that its was a failure of Luxemburgs ideas and not the abandonment of the party which caused the failure of revolution. That would be absurdly infantile.

    Again this is just crazy. It was the party that failed not Luxemburg. If the party adopted her methods who knows what would have happened. Thats like saying that trotsky or bukharin failed because their ideas were just worse than stalins. Pure insanity.

    Ok but if we then try to say that ones method was correct simply because thats what prevailed then this gives no extra value, we dont know what the system would look like if the party would not abandon Luxemburg, or if bukharin replaced stalin. By the same argument germans were correct because thats what happened.

    again with mensheviks you seem to maybe not know their ideology. A communist which revolts against a capitalist system is still revolutionary. It doesnt need to be against a tzarist one.

    alright then we shall disagree on this, i do believe that its a capitalist society which gives rise to the necessary contradictions.

      I don’t see any point comparing real world societies to fictional ones.

      Well I have only adopted your methods. Its almost as insane as trying to argue that its was a failure of Luxemburgs ideas and not the abandonment of the party which caused the failure of revolution. That would be absurdly infantile.

      Nah, you’ve stuck to your own methods of making nonsensical statements that fail to address the points I’m making. Why did the part abandon Luxemburg, why were German communists unable to organize the way Bolsheviks did. Have you considered that lack of party discipline was precisely the problem there?

      Ok but if we then try to say that ones method was correct simply because thats what prevailed then this gives no extra value, we dont know what the system would look like if the party would not abandon Luxemburg, or if bukharin replaced stalin. By the same argument germans were correct because thats what happened.

      Nobody is saying that methods are correct simply by virtue of prevailing. What’s being said is that methods that consistently fail to achieve desired results are definitely not correct.

      again with mensheviks you seem to maybe not know their ideology. A communist which revolts against a capitalist system is still revolutionary. It doesnt need to be against a tzarist one.

      I know their ideology quite well that’s precisely how I know that you’re blowing smoke here. The fact that you’re trying to argue that a party trying to do a capitalist revolution is socialist without a hint of irony is really incredible.

      alright then we shall disagree on this, i do believe that its a capitalist society which gives rise to the necessary contradictions.

      Yet, history proves you wrong. Thanks for confirming that you are not in fact a Marxist and you refuse to do material analysis of history.
