is revolution not putting the authority of the people over those in power, and bringing those people low? that's "hierarchy"

    that depends if you draw distinction between the people and the state (which is merely an abstraction of capital)

    state capitalism, as defined by lenin, is not a classless society, and is indefensible as a liberatory philosophy.

    just as liberalism abolished the monarchy only to replace it with a dictatorship of private capital, authoritarian socialism replaced monarchy with a beaurocratic ruling class and unilateral control of the means of production.

    the neck cares not the color of the boot
