Yet the roadmap of every communist country so far has involved a state and a leader that may or may not have represented the interest of the people. Yeah, it seems like your idols need to go back to the basics
Again, I have specifically argued against idolization. Did you outright ignore the part where Marx and Engels argued for the usage of a state when building up towards Communism? You admit to having little knowledge of Marxism and Socialist history, yet refuse to learn more.
Only because how it should be implemented differs from how it has been implemented. I’m just saying. There’s nothing wrong with Marxism. There’s something wrong with the people who practice it.
State socialism is soft totalitarianism. There is a non-zero chance that any government that utilizes such a path will succumb to totalitarianism. Thereby making it a flawed system
Also, my knowledge of socialist history isn’t too limited. I know enough to know that Stalin didn’t do more for humanity than even the most corrupt of third world country politicians.
How should it be implemented in your eyes? You speak in vague, non-Marxist idealism like “soft totalitarianism,” when you should already know better having read Politzer.

It should be implemented the way Marx thought it should. If it still cannot be properly carried out after that, then Marxism is flawed.
Very funny. Soft totalitarianism is a term i came up with, am proud of, and will continue to use for the foreseeable future.
