I've never understood this line of Marxist rhetoric, isn't like every instance of communist government also a complete merging of state and corporate power? Or is that just more "not true communism"?

Let's say that I granted your point entirely. Would you object to the counter-point that massive authoritarian excess, corruption, and economic inefficiency is a natural end result of Marxist-Leninist thought?
