      It's vague because i am not looking for a gotcha, i want to understand the mechanism that ensures that in an ml state the members of the party, who are clearly above the proletariat, no matter how much of this is only for coordinational or organizational reasons can be removed when they stray from the revolutionary path. Much like the USSR did in it's later stages.

      You cannot say that there weren't failures in the democratic centralist form of governing when many of these countries no longer exist as socialist states, with many of the ones that still existing turning towards neoliberalism.

      One of the key enforcement mechanisms of liberal capitalist democracy in the US is the judiciary existing as an independent entity, and I think that many of these countries would've heeded better if they didn't entirely rely on democratic centralism among the politiburo for decision making. They needed independent groups to make sure they were always living up to constitutional desires.
