    There’s a huge difference in dictatorships of capital like France and working class states like the PRC, because France serves the bourgeoisie while China serves the proletariat. The working classes deciding how to develop is different from capitalists imposing this on the working classes.

        A State is a State.

        Infantile nonsense. No the state is the instrument through which one class rules over the others. Given that abolishing class and class antagonisms at the push of a magic button is impossible a proletarian state that oppresses and represses the bourgeoisie and reactionaries is necessary for the transition between capitalism and communism. This is called socialism. A workers state and a bourgeois state are not the same.

        This is liberal class-erasure. The state is not above or outside class struggle, but thoroughly enmeshed within it, and therefore can only be the representative of the ruling class. In the PRC, the proletariat and peasantry established a working-class state in 1949.
