What two ways did the Soviets stray from ideas about communism advanced by Karl Marx?

The Soviets strayed from Marx's ideas about communism in two main ways:

Central planning: Marx envisioned a communist society as one in which the means of production would be owned in common and economic activity would be coordinated through decentralized, democratic planning. However, the Soviets adopted a system of central planning, in which economic decisions were made by a central government bureaucracy. This system was inefficient and led to shortages and waste.

Vanguard party: Marx believed that the working class would eventually overthrow capitalism and establish communism through its own revolutionary action. However, the Soviets argued that the working class was not capable of achieving this on its own and that a vanguard party of professional revolutionaries was needed to lead the revolution and then guide the transition to communism. This concept of a vanguard party contradicted Marx's emphasis on the self-emancipation of the working class.
