In USSR and other Marxist-Leninist experiments arguably both the state and capitalism prevailed. The relation of workers to their workplaces didn't actually change - still taking orders, this time not from the owner of the workplace but from the state beaurocrat. So workers actually didn't have control over means of production, just this time the political class and the owner class got combined into one class - the class of state beaurocracy.
