In the old Soviet Union, at least according to Tom Clancy, there was a way around paralyzing party doctrine. If, say, a KGB agent had to violate Party doctrine to complete a mission, during his debriefing he could declare that the violation was necessary.
Not because he wasn't a loyal Party subject, oh my no, but because "objective external conditions" during his mission required him to sidestep an idiotic, illogical bit of communism or fail to complete his mission.
Those objective external conditions cropped up more and more in the 1980s, until the whole house of cards fell into a heap. And since the KGB guys were quite advanced at avoiding doctrinal Party compliance, the KGB guys were the best trained to take over Russia after the fall.
