The Marxism-Leninist state utilizes a centrally planned state socialist economy.Charles F. Andrain. Comparative political systems: policy performance and social change. Armonk, New York, USA: M. E. Sharpe, Inc., 1994. Pp. 140. It supports public awnership o the economy an supports the confiscation o aw private property that becomes public property admeenistered bi the state, while personal property is left untouched.János Kornai. From socialism to capitalism: eight essays. Budapest, Hungary: Central European University Press, 2008. Pp. 54. It typically replaces the role o mercat in the caipitalist economy wi centralizit state management o the economy that is kent as a command economy. Housomeivver in recent decades an alternative Marxist-Leninist economy that exists is the Socialist mercat economy that haes been uised bi the Fowkrepublic o Cheenae, Socialist Republic o Vietnam an historically bi the Fowkrepublic o Hungary an the Socialist Federal Republic o Yugoslavie.
