The Soviet Union, rather than being just a planned economy, was an empire. It was a Russian empire that used Marxism as a front for its imperialist actions.
It certainly did a bunch of imperialism, yeah
It’s more than something they did; it’s central to understanding how their economy functioned. With no imperialism, their controlled markets wouldn’t succeed. The exertion of state violence on member states for the benefit of Russians wasn’t a bug or inefficiency, but a feature.
