a ver... 

no digo que esté de acuerdo con sus métodos, pero estas medidas sí 
searían las de un gobierno popular (es una carta de Lenin a los 
revolucionarios alemanes que conformaron la -desconocida- república 
soviética de Bavaria durante un tiempito en 1919):

We thank you for your message of greetings, and on our part whole 
heartedly greet the Soviet Republic of Bavaria. We ask you 
insistently to give us more frequent, definite information on the 
following. What measures have you taken to fight the bourgeois 
executioners, the Scheidernanns and Co.; have councils of workers and 
servants been formed in the different sections of the city; have the 
workers been armed; have the bourgeoisie been disarmed; has use been 
made of the stocks of clothing and other items for immediate and 
extensive aid to the workers, and especially to the farm labourers 
and small peasants; have the capitalist factories and wealth in 
Munich and the capitalist farms in its environs been confiscated; 
have mortgage and rent payments by small peasants been cancelled; 
have the wages of farm labourers and unskilled workers been doubled 
or trebled; have all paper stocks and all printing-presses been 
confis-cated so as to enable popular leaflets and newspapers to be 
printed for the masses; has the six-hour working day with two or 
three-hour instruction in state administration been introduced; have 
the bourgeoisie in Munich been made to give up surplus housing so 
that workers may be immediately moved into comfortable flats; have 
you taken over all the banks; have you taken hostages from the ranks 
of the bourgeoisie; have you introduced higher rations for the 
workers than for the bourgeoisie; have all the workers been mobilised 
for defence and for ideological propaganda in the neighbouring 
villages? The most urgent and most extensive implementation of these 
and similar measures, coupled with the initiative of workers’, farm 
labourers’ and— ;acting apart from them— ;small peasants’ councils, 
should strengthen your position. An emergency tax must be levied on 
the bourgeoisie, and an actual improvement effected in the condition 
of the workers, farm labourers and small peasants at once and at all 
costs.

With sincere greetings and wishes of success.

Lenin
