Didn't Marx warn of an authoritarian takeover of a people's revolution and how that was no different than having a bourgeoisie?

this is like a page long, maybe worth a read
Rosa Luxemburg certainly did but who cares about women in history am I right? /s
Sylvia Pankhurst promoted Luxemburg's views after her death. She also became disillusioned with Lenin and the Bolsheviks.
Right? Who'd ever listen to women of history, like Emma Goldman, and especially women of color, like Lucy Parsons. They've certainly never mentioned anything worthwhile about this topic. /s
I don't think Marx ever condemned the word "authoritarian." Or said anything about a dictatorship of the proletariat becoming more unjust than a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. That doesn't sound like anything he'd say.
Guy Debord criticized the Soviet Union for creating a new class system. He still believed in Marxism, but didn't believe that the structure of the Soviet Union was able to create the conditions for communism.
Not according to "tankies" :D They love shiny boots holding a red flag. They just hate brown flags, but love a good boot-liking
Yup.
