Currently re-reading Bill Bland's "Restoration of Capitalism in the Soviet Union" Would highly recommend ya'll to read it. https://revolutionarydemocracy.org/archive/BlandRestoration.pdf
It's pretty funny how the news organ of the CPSU, Pravda, literally admitted that there was capitalist elements in the Soviet economy like the profit motive just rebranded as a "socialist profit motive"
"Let us consider profit, one of the economic instruments of socialism. A considerable
enhancement of its role in socialist economy is an indispensible requisite for cost
accounting"

accounting"
"Under socialism profit differs fundamentally in socio-economic content and role from profit under capitalism"
"The value of the product of surplus labour.... is expressed in profit".
Furthermore, enterprise directors and managers were granted the freedom to fire individual workers from their workplaces as apart of Kosygin's reforms
The economy of the Soviet Union was a corporatist economy comparable to that one of Nazi Germany or Fascist Italy.
I will probably piss some people off with this thread or whatever but i don't really give a fuck. Feel free to unfollow or block me if you don't like what i'm saying. I'm gonna repeat myself THE SOVIET ECONOMY WAS A CORPORATIST ECONOMY COMPARABLE TO THAT ONE OF NAZI GERMANY!
