I've always thought Mandel did a great job of laying out the basics on that question, including as refutation of Bettelheim. One aspect of Mandel's account which I found useful recently: he points to the contradiction between advances in the spheres of production and distribution, and how lags in the latter mean unavoidable dependence on norms of bourgeois equality and right (as Marx had predicted), and how that in turn held back democratic planning of already-socialized production. In a note on intersectionality recently I cited some examples of how Trotsky and others explained what the prevalence of such bourgeois norms meant for the continued need to depend on the family, which is key in that distributive sphere, and helps explain why the socialization of reproduction was crucial for the whole economy.
