But doesn’t the central committee control who runs

So party members or previous committee members?

And who elects the members of that committee?

While I don’t think the USSR’s failure is due to communism, I’m saying that it’s odd to use the same sword used against us. The point should be that we have good ideas that don’t need to be stacked upon history. They’re just good ideas alone.
