When ethnic values overwhelm political values the state ceases to matter because with ethnic values only the people are at issue. In the case of Germany it was the Aryan race, in the case of Russia it was the proletarian class; in both cases the state had no independent value except insofar as it served the interests of the race or the class in question.
The structure of the political decision-making was a matter of trivial significance.
