This is too broad and abstract to be actionable, let alone analyzable. What is &quot;democratic&quot; control?<p>If people elect representatives who try to run the economy as if it were a diesel engine, is that democratic control? Or does it mean a plurality of worker&#x27;s owned corporations?<p>Furthermore, &quot;state capitalist&quot; is about as pitiable a phrase as &quot;late capitalism&quot;. Venezuela is populated by Communists and run by Communists who ran their political campaigns on Communist promises, therefore, Venezuela is a Communist country.
