It's very much this too. Funny thing is that LaRouche was extremely hostile to the USSR and was up to all kinds of crazy hijinks back in the 1980s. He was big into classical culture and had cult views about the proper opera harmonics. They were a full-blown political cult.

The reality of actually-existing socialism, what it turned to, was a highly unimaginative and conservative kind of regime that didn't like new ideas. You had a single party comprised of around 500,000 people (a small percentage of the population) that ran the government, owned virtually everything, and also reserved for itself an exclusive monopoly on the correct ideas and anything different from what they considered the status quo and the norm was deemed to be a threat.
