The party is not the de jure nor de facto owner of the means of production, the entire working class is. This is why production in socialist economies is not run for the accumulation of capital in the hands of party members, such would make accusations of “state capitalism” hold water. Production is socialized, and the social surplus is also socialized.
The party is the owner of the means of production. That’s why anachists call AES “state-capitalism”.
Anarchists use the term “state-capitalism” because they don’t have a clue what they’re talking about
Wrong again. The working class is the owner of production, and elect and delegate managers dedicated to this task.
Name me a single grouping of any kind that doesn’t have managers, leaders, or organizers.
So, can anyone be delegated to be a manager, can that mandate be recalled by the workers again, or do you need to be in the party to be eligible?
Straw-man. I’m not arguing against administration (nor is any collectivist anarchist).
