This person doesn't know what he's talking about. Has he never heard of Proudhon's "What is Property" or the Utopian Socialists?

"By popular government they [the Authoritarian Socialists] mean government of the people by a small number of representatives elected by the people. . . [That is,] government of the vast majority of the people by a privileged minority. But this minority, the Marxists say, will consist of workers. Yes, perhaps, of former workers, who, as soon as they become rulers or representatives of the people will cease to be workers and will begin to look upon the whole workers' world from the heights of the state. They will no longer represent the people but themselves and their own pretensions to govern the people." - Mikhail Bakunin
