Tl;dr for anyone too lazy to read it - they tried to do socialism but never completed the transition out of state capitalism, so Big Daddy Wolff thinks the answer is the destruction of the employer/employee model that dominates all states of the last century (attemptedly socialist or not). Why or how this would change anything is not explained.
Ok I think I wasn't clear, there is more context that is needed for that than I provided.
Wolff is a market socialist who famously advocates for "worker self-directed enterprises" as the path to socialism. So when he says "destroy the employer/employee model" he isn't really saying "dissolve the bourgeois mode of production and institute a planned economy" like most people take Marx to mean, Wolff is saying "the USSR failed because it didn't do co-operatives."
