So there is Bentham and Mill and the whole theory of utilitarianism, which is the idea that we should act to minimize suffering and maximize happiness for all sentient beings concerned. Alright. And there is a delicious irony, for no, you cannot really measure suffering or happiness, all you can do is make very approximate estimates.
So, what if Lenin and other early Bolsheviks had this sense of irony and were much loosey-goosier about ideology? For example, if poorest peasants like the idea that they, too, might become rich, that's fine, leave those avenues open as unlikely as they might be. Just make sure that various quasi-monopolies, whatever the Russian equivalents of U.S. railroads and grain elevators, give ordinary people a reasonably square deal. And perhaps push forward with industrialization, which is something a centralized approach might actually do a pretty good job at.
So, this is a pro-Soviet wank where they get it essentially right and roll forward from there.
Your ideas please.
