Gavril Miasnikov was a fucking dude!

"Miasnikov, furthermore,

denounced the New Economic

Policy, inaugurated in 1921, as

an abandonment of the goals of

October and a sellout to the

bourgeoisie. The proliferation

of bu-reaucrats and

entrepreneurs, with wide scope

for profiteering and corruption,

filled him with disgust. It was a

hateful and unbearable sight, a

symbol of the deterioration of

the revolution, of the decay of

the socialist ideal. In spite of

the abolition of private

ownership, the worst features

of capitalism had been

preserved: wage slavery,

differences of income and

status, hierarchical authority,

bureaucratism. The initials

"NEP," asserted the manifesto,

stood for "New Exploitation of

the Proletariat."

- Paul Avrich, Bolshevik Opposition to Lenin, 1984
