They were state capitalists. Most revolutionaries that win fall into the same trap, let's change everything everywhere at all once. Don't like farm structures? Fuck it, invent a new system and enforce it violently. And that same thing we're seeing GOP Trumpist about to do right now. Purge the ranks. Again and again and again. Fascism is a death cult that devalues life. It never lasts long.
State Capitalism went away when they transitioned away from the NEP and went for a more collectivized economy. I think you need to brush up more on theory.
