according to lenin first you would have a vanguard party lead the country to socialism and then communism. The vanguard party just never freely gave up power, shocking, and became the nomenklatura. Aka oligarchy. Which russia still has. What is communism? Series of decentralized communes. USSR had state capitalism. Very centralized. Same as USA today. The USE, aka european union is similar.
