If it did this then the revolution will have failed and a new class society would have been created(a society based on state bureaucrats and oppressed workers as in the Soviet Union).
The genesis of Shachtman's“new class” theory of the USSR was in the abandonment by part of the American Trotskyist party of the unconditional military defense of the Soviet Union when it counted.
Although in Marxist sociology the state serves only the owners of property and has no stake of its own, in reality the stewards quickly evolve into a new class.
But when, with incipient capitalism, and the spread of"manufactures," wages began to be pushed down further and further, the first trade union organisations developed among the new class of wage-workers to combat the tendency.
This doctrine affords the'radical intellectuals' the right to hold State power and to impose the harsh rule of the'Red Bureaucracy,' the'new class,' in the terms of Bakunin's prescient analysis a century ago.
From Karl Kautsky, to anarchists hostile to the dictatorship of the proletariat, to Max Shachtman, who split from the American Trotskyist movement in 1939-40, to the now-defunct Maoist movement, all kinds of forces have put forward all kinds of explanations over the years purporting to show that the USSR was some kind of“capitalist” or“new class” society.
BG: In the book, if I understand it correctly, you argue that the amazing breakthroughs that we are experiencing right now not only will potentially make our lives better, but they will create-- and I quote you--"… new classes and new class struggles, just as the industrial revolution did.
