Workers' Opposition

The main criticism was the deformation of the workers' state towards bureaucracy. This was expressed, according to the Workers' Opposition, by undemocratic states ( which led to the complaint to the Comintern, especially within the party ) and also. Due to the New Economic Policy and outspoken party bans

The main demand of the Workers' Opposition was to put the complete economic control in the hands of the unions.
