So, Charles, your alternative? Legitimate government represents the interest of the working class as understood by the unitary Central Committee of the only permitted Party, dissenters will be jailed or exiled or shot as counterrevolutionaries, just like in the democratic paradise, North Korea? If not that, then what? --jks

Legitimate governments:
(a) derive their just powers from the consent of the governed...
