Answer:
Soviet is another word for council. In theory the workers collectively own the means of production (farm, factory, etc.) and decide how to distribute the products. in practice however, the USSR practiced state capitalism, where the means of production was owned by the state and the state made decisions for the workers and subsequently took the products from the workers.In a sense the "soviet" bureaucrats became the new capitalist class. the closest soviet communism ever came to manifesting itself was in Titoist Yugoslavia where worker of factories practiced workers self management (where each worker got one vote in major decisions), sold there goods on an open market and shared the profits among themselves
