    This should be the core problem

    calling universal suffrage as well an instrument of bourgeois rule. Universal suffrage, is

    “the gauge of the maturity of the working class. It cannot and never will be anything more in the present-day state.”

    So, make them mature first. Why bother with a revolution?

    Of course there are arguments for the revolution but it was luck that it was possible then. Today, there is no way that the masses get the means of production to stage a revolution.

    About the book:

    On which page does he explain that a socialist state is the tool to proceed? And why do ML not like anarchists and call them bourgeois when L wants to end statehood?

    It’s very taxing to read because it sounds right but has subtle contradictions. E. g. calling it dictatorship of proletariat does either mean democracy or it is a paradox.
