I lived there before the collapse. It was a communist state. With centralized planning. And all the waste that goes with it.
After Stalin, the Soviet Union had several levels of "above president" parliaments (with an elect and/or rotating boards), such as the "Supreme Soviet", that had enormous power. Presidents where forced to resign, some where placed under house arrest.
A dictatorship did not exist there in the form of a president.
Communism is Marxism. You will never be able to separate them. Nor change the fact that they don't cure human suffering, they produce it.
