The ideology contains a series of de facto mutually exclusive principles: a high level of participation which does not lead to pluralism, but to the confined debate of democratic centralism; democratic centralism which does not produce overcentralization, but remains democratic, a planned economy which does not result in stifling bureaucratism; separation of party and state without conflict between the two; dialectical change, but no independent centers of power to provide the antithesis (p. 200).
