I don't think that's necessarily it. If the people have lost faith in the central organizer of their surplus product it can be very akin to being alienated from your work under capitalism. While whether or not the USSR (Big Other bless it's memory) produced commodities or not, an aspect of Estranged Labor was that "the object which labor produces – labor’s product – confronts it as something alien, as a power independent of the producer." If someone has no say over their production and feels it falls into a corrupted system full of graft and irrationality, some aspects of Capitalist alienation may arise.

Though like you say a campaign to reduce corruption at a massive scale to inspire faith in economic planners again would have been key
