Politicians serve who controls them, ie who funds them. The idea isn't to take an existing Capitalist state and add a bunch of state power, but to restructure the state and economy along proletarian democracy, ie worker councils and whatnot.
Socialism isn't giving Capitalist politicians control, but giving workers control of the state and economy.
