The Party needs a lot of power to keep the capitalists from making a comeback. They will inevitably abuse that to keep their in-party enemies (e.g., Trotskyists) from getting any power. And eventually they will realize that it's hard to get absurdly rich on communist labor alone, so they'll allow capitalism back while maintaining one-party rule and political repression of the masses.
