As far as optics are concerned, it’s important to be honest. As Marx himself stated, when our times come we will not make excuses for the terror. That means not trying to “prettify” the task of revolution, revolution isn’t a tea party. The tools the bourgeoisie uses to manipulate and control society in capitalism will be stripped from them and placed in the hands of the proletariat, and bourgeois property will be gradually taken from them. By rights, this is just, but it is also “authoritarian,” or “oppressive.” Nevertheless, this task must be done, and taken seriously, lest we fall to counter-revolution. At the same time, this will create genuine democracy for the proletariat.
