Imagi-Natives: ...for an imaginative life!

[Quote No.42613] Need Area: Friends > General
"[One of the unfortunate things about political ideologies promoting human dignity, freedom and equality as Socialism did, as described by its supporters, is that while those aims are desired by all humans, the methods to gain and keep political control in a country often mean that what was said and what is done are very different and sometimes may never have even been possible to begin with.] In Russia, the so-called 'dictatorship of the proletariat' has not led to Socialism, but to the domination of a new bureaucracy over the proletariat and the whole people. ... What the Russian autocrats and their supporters fear most is that the success of libertarian Socialism in Spain might prove to their blind followers that the much vaunted 'necessity of dictatorship' is nothing but one vast fraud which in Russia has led to the despotism of Stalin and is to serve today in Spain to help the counter-revolution to a victory over the revolution of the workers and the peasants." - Rudolf Rocker
Quote from his book, 'The Tragedy of Spain' (1937).
