Line 42:
A driving factor behind Council Communist beliefs is that once the revolution is near completion and the time comes for the state to be abolished, the individuals in charge won't be willing to give up their power. To sidestep this, it is a belief held by Council Communists that the council should have little or no power and should only serve to ensure the revolution occurs.
Most council communists also view the Bolshevik revolution as a bourgeois, not proletarian, revolution, and saw the Soviet Union as a [[File:Statecap.png]] [[State Capitalism|State Capitalist]] project, rather than a [[File:Soc.png]] [[Socialism|Socialist]] one, or one moving towards Socialism<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /><ref>Shipway, Mark (1987).
