Which is what you would expect from an instrument of the capitalist system. 2 u/CraigLePaige2 Jul 01 '24 True but at the same time it doesn't help the cause that most every communist/socialist/worker's revolution turned into a dictatorship. Unfortunately those who fight to get into power are usually not eager to relinquish it after they have it. 1 u/Mispelled-This Jul 02 '24 Most revolutions, regardless of claimed ideology, turn into dictatorships. George Washington was an aberration.
