The History of the Soviet Union During the Cold War

War communism was a period of nationalizing industry and abolishing the market economy so there was essentially no market operating in the Soviet Union at this time. Jung: The idea that uniting all economic activities under the direction of the state is what Marx was going for is totally off base because you know Marx hated the state just as much as anyone like why would he say it's in Marxist position? "The goal of communism is to have state power over everything I don't fucking know how we get there" says Jung.
