          Why does state ownership safeguard the revolution? What would happen if the state is taken over by capitalist elements?

            They'd privatize ownership. There isn't really an in-between option. Skipping straight to communism isn't possible as long as there is capitalist imperial hegemony as the workers would become disorganized without a state and unable to resist colonization.

            The state is a tool to be wielded either by workers or capitalists, one day that contradiction will be resolved and what comes after will look a lot different as both capitalists and proles will cease to exist as classes.
