Council democracy: Marx, basing himself on a thorough study of Paris Commune, believed that the workers would govern themselves through system of communes. He called this the dictatorship of the proletariat, which, overthrowing the dictatorship (governance) of the bourgeoisie, would democratically plan production and the resources of the planet. Labor vouchers: Marx explained that, since socialism emerges from capitalism, it would be "stamped with its birthmarks".
