Now, I’m a democratic Marxist, meaning that I believe in a Marxist economy within a democratic political system. Now in all Tankie states, the elections are never unopposed. I think there should be a multi-party system using Single Transferable Vote to ensure that the people’s voice can be heard. Also, on AnComs: I have many AnCom-like views, but I believe that multi-party democratic socialist states are just as legitimate as collectives of anarchist communes.

(Hopefully I won’t get many downvotes from this)

    Why do you believe that a multi party system is a precondition for democracy? For example India has a multi party electoral system and we are not democratic at all.

      Okay, but in a one-party system, the one party should still send multiple candidates both to the legislative and executive branch. Not all socialists/communists think alike, and that should be reflected in the ballots.
