    Read this one for a change

    In the early days of Lukashenko’s administration, the public economy accounted for about 75% of total GDP. With the reform of state-owned assets in the new century, the proportion of private sector increased, but generally accounted for no more than 30% of GDP, while amounting to 60–80% in Russia, Georgia, and Eastern European countries after the transition. The public-owned economy is also the main force to absorb employment, with those employed in state-owned or state-controlled enterprises accounting for about 70% of total employment (Slon Magazine 2015).

    Is the Professional Managerial Classes inherently reactionary?

    To me they're like mere servants of the State, like Lenin talked about in "2. What is to Replace the Smashed State Machine?" in his writing "The State and Revolution"

    Under Capitalism, they are its privileged knights that try to deflect and control, if not defend directly its image as "the only option", who have their incentive in doing so, with their class status stake being in their duty to shepherd the means of production and its resulting benefits

    However, they don't own the means of production, as they merely manage it for the landholding, industrialist, and financier capitalists

    On the other hand, under Socialism, while its privileges will be probably be done away, the PM class on its own would innovated upon, for their new duty of overseeing, managing, and reporting the collectivized cooperatives and state-owned enterprises..

    Until the final stage of Communism arrives, I think they're pretty handy

    I say this, because I hear such disgusted sentiment in Hexbear against them

    Here's a potential litmus test for Lemmy users (repost)

    Ask them if they've read about Dessalines, and ask their thoughts on them?

    Whether it be the Github user who founded Lemmy, with his Anti-American and Marxist Leninist essays,

    or

    the Haitian general who fought against the French in the Haitian Revolution, and thus had a hand in wiping out many remnants of the white slave-owners... to create the first abolitionist country.

    Just ask what they know and what they think of him?
