Yeah but these people are inevitable precisely BECAUSE Marx was so vague about what would happen after capitalism was abolished. It's by far the biggest flaw in Marxism. Every single Marxist project has this big, inevitable "We overthrew the established order, now what?" moment, and every single time, without fail, the "now what" moment is followed by some ambitious, conniving strongman who worms his way into the party elite, amasses absolute power, and proceeds to stab all his fellow party members in the back to assume total control of the State.

It happened in Russia, it happened in China, it happened in Cuba, it happened in Vietnam, it happened in Cambodia--it keeps happening, over and over. Marxists need to realize that this is a very critical design flaw in Marxism and they have not managed to fix it.
