You appear to be a Maoist. 
But you are wrong about the former USSR everything
belonged to the people and the people decided how to
run things via the people's congress, in theory of
course.  The same thing applies to China.
If you read about either you will find why the system
failed.  I'll give you a hint, human nature.  You had
bums who didn't want to work, bullies who wanted to
tell everyone else how to work and egomaniacs who
wanted POWER.
Both systems started out (more or less) with the same
thinking you are using.  Once it was discovered that
the system wouldn't work it had to be "adjusted".
                      Remember:  Freedom isn't Free!
