Democratic centralism By the Brezhnev period, democratic centralism was described, in the 1977 Soviet Constitution, as a principle for organizing the state: "The Soviet state is organized and functions on the principle of democratic centralism, namely the electiveness of all bodies of state authority from the lowest to the highest, their accountability to the people, and the obligation of lower bodies to observe the decisions of higher ones." Democratic centralism combines central leadership with local initiative and creative activity and with the responsibility of each state body and official for the work entrusted to them.

Thus, decisions made by the Party's top leaders "de facto" had the force of law. This arrangement soon became the norm in nearly all Communist states.
Organic centralism This text then argues that fractionism would have a positive basis, where it arises in response to the relapse of the party into opportunism, as particularly illustrated by Social Democracy.

Organic centralism The concept was put forward as against bolshevisation.
