Solidarity after a majority vote is a principle of every political party, and not a special feature of democratic centralism. Even in bourgeois parties, the rule is to shut up and support the majority after you lose the vote. What is "central" about democratic centralism is that the rank and file elect representatives, who, in turn, elect the next level. This is the contrast that Lenin makes between centralism and federalism. This is just a conceptual point. I am not disagreeing with the main thrust of your post. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/-Marxism--Once-more-on-democratic-centralism-tp30559262p30559938.html Sent from the Marxism mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
