Reading a book about the Czechoslovak socialist model proposed in the 60s, anyone interested in a debunk? (hexbear.net)

So, the book is called "El modelo checoslovaco de socialismo" (the Czechoslovak socialist model), by Radoslav Selucký, published in Fascist Spain in 1969 from a translation of the west-German version of the same year. Radoslav Selucký is one of the intellectuals behind the proposed reforms in the 60s that didn't come to fruition because of the Soviet intervention. I'm reading the book and I, as a Marxist-Leninist, am finding it appalling, I expected to see better ideas and effort but honestly I just wanna fucking dunk on it (at least on some chapters) because I find it infuriating. Anyone interested in a more-or-less thorough critique?

Oh you bet it's proto-Gorbachev, the book starts with some Yugoslavia cocksucking.

And yes, you can imagine how good of a socialist this man is by the fact that he immediately ran away to see his book published in fascist Spain and western Germany
