Legislating morality makes it much easier to enforce.

It shouldn't be enforced.

The state is in the unique position of having lots of power and bureaucracy on its side,

Like that's a good thing.

which unorganized mobs simply cannot achieve properly.

They shouldn't do it either.

This bureaucracy allows fairness and a precise system of dealing with degeneracy and the ability to snuff out issues before they arise (i.e. shutting down borders or launching military expeditions to snuff out drugs before they become a problem) and codeified laws allow a fair but effective method of determining who/what is an issue and how to deal with issues in a way that is most effective.

So basically totalitarianism.

That's a good point, but Right Wing groups also police themselves a lot more. Look at the Night of the Long Knives: It may have mostly been a power move and political chess turn at heart, but eliminated degenerates like Ernst Röhm (who was a sodomite and pedophile) as well.

Left Wing groups also purge themselves. For example Obama is now a Nazi according to them, for not being extreme enough.

In general, all political movements could benefit from a sort of commisariate to weed out degeneracy and corruption.

Corruption for sure, but for some reason the word "degeneracy" almost never refers to anything that's actually bad.

To balance such an organization would be difficult, as would havign them police themselves, but it's always an ideal to work towards.

Or we can just admit that it doesn't work and leave people alone. But no, the imaginary collective can't have that.
