I don't want to speak for him but from his other writing I think idlewords has a fair idea (from personal experience) of what old fashioned central planning communism looks like.

For the record, there are lots of places on the socialism spectrum and many of them haven't deteriorated at all, and some of them look quite lovely...

I do not mind central planing. I like Soviet culture far more than Hollywood and CocaCola. I even can see myself a soviet soldier ready to defend homeland.

I just do not want to bring a Red Flag to evey corner of the world on a bayonet of my rifle. And that's it. Even if I bring free cookies and right to privacy with it.

There is no "socialism in one dedicated country". Socialism needs whole planet. Lenin said that pretty clear.
