Son is not gender neutral, but I do use it as such to be silly. I was absolutely being obnoxious. I’m sorry for that.

So here’s the thing. I do believe in workers owning and controlling the means of production, of course, but I do not consider this a dictatorship of the proletariat. It’s very authoritarian in construct, and I don’t share that vision of transition in a democratic context.

I should also note that I don’t think it’s feasible for a proletarian revolution in which there is a powerful state that can be taken over in that manner. The state’s modern monopoly on violence is much more advanced than a hundred years ago.

You do believe in such a thing I take it?
