Not really. The USSR was always about the interest of the working classes. The problem was in the 1920s and early 1930s the USSR was a mostly peasant-farming society, with the working classes a narrow urban minority. This, of course, was a dilemma based in no small part because Marxism wanted a revolution to occur in a place like Germany, where in one of the more interesting instances of reality stepping on theory's face forever communist revolutions happened in predominantly agrarian societies.....
