György Lukács: It is necessary to create organs which are able to include the whole proletariat, together with all those exploited under capitalism (peasants and soldiers) in one great mass and lead them into battle. These organs - Soviets - are, within bourgeois society, already essentially weapons of the proletariat organizing itself as a class. Once they exist revolution is on the agenda. For as Marx said: 'The class organization of revolutionary elements presupposes the completion of all the forces of production which can ever develop in the womb of the old society.' https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote503
