    Can you blame them? The only way of getting to state-level communism has historically been hardcore autocracy, so I kinda understand them.

    And the people belonging to “the party” get to enjoy lavish lifestyles, while the rest suffers and dreams about escaping/emigrating. The don’t want to empower “workers”, it’s just a polifitcal slogan to get themselves into power.

      Yes I can. They did not bother to nuance their position, going fully into soviet empire propaganda. There are examples of getting to planned economy without autocracy: Salvodor Allende’s Chile, anarchist societies in Ukraine in 30s, Yugoslavia (kinda), etc.
