Are you capable of addressing what I said without resorting to anecdotes?

I did, you claimed that you only need to fight the bourgeoisie and practice central planning to be socialist which I absolutely disagreed with. Like I said you need democratic worker control for socialism.

I did not.

Like I said you need democratic worker control for socialism.

The USSR did, as I proved and you simply said “no.”

Ah yes, you also said you need a central party control for socialism.

You said they had socialism, I said they didn’t. You didn’t prove anything. If you wanna go into how elections were run and how candidates were chosen then we can but the picture you provided was accurate for just a brief period in the USSR. I can’t remember if worker councils were dismantled during Lenin or Stalin but by the time they occupied Estonia they weren’t a thing. In the USSR the higher ups in the party controlled the means of production, they also controlled who people can vote for while making sure that vote didn’t change anything.
