And second, the working class ruled the USSR? I'm far from being anti-Soviet, but that's a ludicrous claim.

^^^^^ CB: So, what is your pro-Soviet position on this issue ? To say that the working class had nothing to do with rule in the USSR is "ludicrous" is about as anti-Soviet as one gets on this.

"Classically", a la Chollie and Fred, the working class rules through the Communist Party as its representive. That's why they wrote the _Manifesto of the _Communist Party_ and helped formed The Internationale, which was a party. Marx and Engels didn't have the IWW model in mind, direct mass class rule, ya know ? ha ha ha ha ha ha !
