They were a dictatorship. In a dictatorship its all the same...... power gravitates to one man at the top. Marx, never in his wildest dreams, ever wanted that for his fantasy nation.

Certainly not in the sense that Iraq, for example, is a dictatorship. USSR had nowhere near that level of concentration of power in any one individual. USSR defined communism for many years, any way you cut it.

Of course, Russia was a far more complicated nation......there was a central authority.....I believe they were called the Commissars.......they were in fact the oligarchs. At their center was the dictator from where all the power emanated.

Corps. are a byproduct of capitalism.

Gasoline is a byproduct of the automobile.

Huh? If gas is a by product of anything its a by product of oil exploration.
