Unnaturally concentrated power always opposes coordination outside of state-managed structures - greater consolidation leads to greater oppression.

> Soviet Unions brutal authoritarian communism ... is the only practical form of large scale communism as per history

This is wrong. The USSR started as a socialist republic, but Stalin turned it into a totalitarian dictatorship. The USSR was as communist as the DPRK is democratic (that is: not at all)... their failings are the failings of a dictatorship.
