nice post. you should read Marx some time if you haven't. it has actually surprisingly little to do with wealth-distribution or constructing a ideology. rather it is a very broad analysis of human production, capital and work. he has probably as much to do with soviet communism as Adam Smith has with capitalism. both never proposed a political system, but where used for justifications of them.

I see what your getting at. you're referring to a kind of party rule, where there  are intransparent of processes of group decisions. at least we have now several experiments going on, so it is interesting to see how this evolves.
