>>508931052 (OP)This "state capitalism" Leninism shit seems enivitable in any modern day nation daring to go commie mode
I think it'd be fine if there would actually be a way to facilitate checks and balances for bureaucrats and politicians, but real ones not fake and gay ones like in capitalism. Like, normies point to the free market as some sort of preventative measure of the government becoming over-bearing, so commies need to conjure up actual functional and practical reasons a bureaucratic elite would stay loyal to the cause and the people, this time without the kind of lies and cognitive dissonance attributed to shit like the free market.
Alternatively, some real implentations in the first world of workers owning the means of their production, even in limited regions, can be a light to their respective countrymen and the world, if they manage to own the trajectory of their communities in a way that utterly mogs bullshit liberal capitalist societies. Easier said than done though, as cooperation for the sake of a horizontal orginzation I only see prevailing if neolib conditions start to deteriorate and don't improve.
I could not imagine the soviet union having gone any other way when Germany and others failed to achieve a socialist revolution, as whoever was in charge was going to face off with western elites who absolutely had the means to mobilize armies against them, because they owned the means of production and thus the leverage they had over 99.9% of military aged males at all times incredible. The soviet union needed the same sort of leverage to counter this, and wealth generation to fund allies and create buffers against the west.
We should unironically take steps to move away from trying to build sound ideologies or articles similar to a consitution, our goals and dignity should be reflected in our economic mode of existence, not something that says "I prommy"
We have nothing to lose but our chains
