Lenin's Plan for "Going Postal"

The following is a direct quote from a translation of Lenin's work, The State and Revolution, written in Russian in August and September, 1917.

If you like standing in line, you'll love Lenin. —@libertyrant

"To organize the whole economy on the lines of the postal service so that the technicians, foremen and accountants, as well as all officials, shall receive salaries no higher than "a workman's wage", all under the control and leadership of the armed proletariat--that is our immediate aim. This is what will bring about the abolition of parliamentarism and the preservation of representative institutions. This is what will rid the laboring classes of the bourgeoisie's prostitution of these institutions."
