Marxist? Maybe. But they skirted around the edges and avoided any unpleasant communism.
As shown by the fact they basically dismantled all the soviets and turned them into some parliamentary shit?
The justification for replacing the factory committees with the union system is because the factory committees were focusing competitively on local issues, rather than cooperatively at a national level. I don't believe this makes it less leftist. This improved productivity in a time when the factories were more chaotic.
How would you propose the Bolsheviks could have handled the situation in a more thoroughly Communist manner, given what they had to work with at the time?
Dude I'm not going to keep arguing with someone who tries to defend that shit.
I am not defending it, I am asking what you would have done. I gave their justification for going with a different Socialist system, and you haven't explained what you would have done, which is all I am asking for.
