    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?

        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.
