I'd argue SWCCfaNE is closer to classical Marxist economics than the Gang of Four era. Marketization of underdeveloped industries helps socialize production, which can be kept in check through proletarian state ownership of the commanding heights of industry, finance, etc. This accelerates the transition between capitalism and communism, towards collectivized production and distribution.
