    Isn’t that still better than only a single state-controlled media?

      Of course, because only those two very specific options can/will/do exist.

        What options did Lenin have in mind for an authoritarian communist state?

          None. The goal was a classless, stateless society. The exact opposite of an authoritarian state.

            He was a vanguard single party advocate.

            And how did that turn out?

            That was never a goal. The only real goal of a communist is genocide.

            This goal almost immediately collapsed when he found out not everyone agreed with him. Then he became an authoritarian so clearly he didn’t think they were opposites.

        Well, one option at most, seems the worst.

            Are you talking about Soviet elections?

              To quote a guy is not the same as to subscribe to all of his actions.

      Yes it is.

      The point you’re evading is that having the press controlled by six oligarchs also isnt a free press.

        I’m not talking at all about free presses. The Soviet Union didn’t have a free press and was controlled by 1 entity instead of 6 - which is much worse - which was my point I was trying to make.
