in the communist manifesto, it says "centralization of credit in the hands of the state by means of national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly" and "extention of factories and instruments of production owned by the state" , does this then mean of the class as a whole (workers democracy) or of a temporary state capitalist monopoly? Because earlier it says: "to centralize all instruments of production in the hands of the state, i.e., of the proletariat organized as the ruling class".

As I remember it, in Mahayana a bodhisattva is a person who has attained enlightenment but delays nirvana. In Theravada, bodhisattva is primarily used to refer to Siddharta Gautama before he became enlightened. Maybe I am remembering incorrectly but i would like if someone explained it to me.
