After an Athenian accused Spartans of being ignorant, the Spartan Plistoanax agreed: "What you say is true. We have learned none of your evil ways."

"Although Marx did not plan out the details of how such a dictatorship would be implemented, he pointed to the Paris Commune as a model of transition to communism. He stated that:

“ The Commune was formed of the municipal councilors, chosen by universal suffrage in the various wards of the town, responsible and revocable at short terms. The majority of its members were naturally workers, or acknowledged representatives of the working class. The Commune was to be a working, not a parliamentary body, executive and legislative at the same time."

"the state can be nothing but the revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat." The term does not refer to a concentration of power by a dictator, but to a situation where the proletariat (working class) would hold power and replace the current political system controlled by the bourgeoisie (propertied class). In short, the "dictatorship of the proletariat" would replace the current "dictatorship of the bourgeoisie." Many Marxists refer to this transitional stage as socialism or "workers' democracy."

Have we
ensured, by measuring the existence dark energy in our
own universe, that the quantum mechanical configuration
of our own universe is such that late time decay is
not relevant? Put another way, what can internal observations
of the state of a metastable universe say about
its longevity?
