And 192 other countries, including the Communist China that what some would refer to as "tankies" are very fond of.

That doesn't change the fact that you are promoting the work of someone who is undeniably an authoritarian, despite your self-proclaimed dislike of authoritarianism and the State

Are you opposed to revolts against monarchies in favour of mass participation polities, like the French Revolution?

No, and if such a revolt must be violent then so it must be. I apologise if I have misunderstood the text, because I am not wholly familiar with it. My overarching point, however, is that it is strange to me that you say that authority and the State is wholly negative when one of the crucial figures of your ideology is known as one of history's most brutal dictators.

So why do you promote the writings of a man who set up an oppressive State?

Why not e.g. Engels, who actively said the following:

A revolution is certainly the most authoritarian thing there is; it is the act whereby one part of the population imposes its will upon the other part by means of rifles, bayonets and cannon

Do you not agree that this description matches the Bolsheviks in 1918?
