The Corbyn party is still hypothetical, nothing has been formalised yet. The 15% is purely based on his name recognition / hate for other parties. I assume when they create an actual program and campaign the polling would change a lot
but it would seem that the "withering away" can only truly be achieved through global proletarian dictatorship. Maybe that's how Lenin and Marx felt at the time they wrote their texts, that global proletarian revolution was just around the corner.
I would say yes and yes. It was the assumption of communists in russia that the german revolution would soon follow after the russian one, which would kickstart revolutions in europe.
one thing i want to point out is that a lot of trotskyists use the logic of "the state can only wither away after a global revolution" to argue that revolutions on the national level are useless (and that no AES state is actually revolutionary / communist). which is why they always organise into international parties
i think the point here is that a manifesto or a document should come out of collective practice within an organisation, not via mixing together labels from the ideology store
Human Rights in the Soviet Union by Albert Szymanski touches a little bit on political organisation, though its mainly about social and economic rights. Workers' Participation in the Soviet Union by Mick Costello is specifically about workers. Theres also The CPSU in a Soviet Election Campaign, which is a short article on the party participation in elections.
Between 1936 and 1977 is also the period of the "Stalin" constitution, so you can also read it to learn more about the system. I also always recommend Red Plenty by Francis Spufford, even though its historical fiction, because its so good at showing post-war USSR.
that's not how advocacy works. you have to at least have a target demographic / group. not to mention a campaign plan etc etc. then you can start looking for the tools that fit your advocacy.
i think you should rather just look into the history of the region, read some books on the topic, apply materialist analysis. you should not take everything at face value, neither from putin nor from a propagandist doc
