      Yes, yes, I understand. But isn’t there the phrase that the revolution eats its children?

      Excuse me as it has probably been discussed into the ground, but I am worried about the same power struggles experienced during after 1917. People in power not trusting each other or wanting more power. Will it be just a continual revolution, or a refresh when someone malicious gets too close to the reigns? If we had most of the core literature back then, why did it turn authoritarian?

      I don’t need answers to my question (unless you got em!), I just wanted to share my main gripe with power structures in general.
