I'm trying to break down the scenario of an incomplete revolution. This is what I have so far:

Will a militarised communist party be less likely to retain their ideology of non violence against the state than a militarised council?

My tentative reply is: yes until the councils become the state (i.e. the revolution is complete and communism really exists).

Feel free to pull me up on any error of judgment or detail; or if the question (which is more dangerous in a reolutionary scenario) needs any work :-)
