What my society looks like when a party seizes power for themselves and not the workers
(Source: Thomas Piketty's World Inequality Report 2022, for fun maybe try poking around and finding a non socialist state with any comparable inversion of income inequality.)
Do you believe capitalism is good because it helped some people? The whole point of socialism is to put the means of production into the hands of the workers and not a vanguard party. Yea, the USSR did quite a lot of imperialism which it used to reduce income inequality of the Russian people but it was never socialist.
Do you know what imperialism means
Yes, the USSR annexing it's neighbours and then exporting their resources and people was very much imperialism.
Read this book to stop seeming so silly.

Also the non Russian SSRs voted to keep the soviet union around at higher rates than the Russians.
