Wasn't the Soviet Union simply a giant corporation?

Question

It had subsidiaries, (the Soviet block nations). It had a parent company, (Russia). It had employees, (the people).
It had stock holders and consumers, (the communist party members). It had a board of directors, (the Polit Bureau). It had a chairman, (I believe that Stalin was even called: "The Boss".).
It was cold and inhumane in it's pursuit of efficiency.
Some claim that capitalism defeated the USSR. I know that freedom, Democracy and "We the People" are what the Soviet Union did not have. I know that our government control of potential totalitarian elements in our system, (the corporations), is what defeated the Soviet Union. Capitalism is simply another weapon that we chose to enlist.
I oppose the formation of the North American Union and globalization, because I see it as Soviet style totalitarianism raising it's ugly head again. Cold and inhumane in it's pursuit of efficiency

driver, I did not imply that they were efficient. I said that they pursued efficiency ruthlessly. Now that sounds like a corporation to me. Some of them also pursue efficiency without any success.
I'm well aware of the human rights record of the USSR. I'm also well aware that corporations are just as inhumane.

Answer 1

You forgot the two most important ingredients of that horrible system and it is also a false notion of it being efficient.
1. The KGB which carried out the Fascist element against the minorities. 32 million Ukrainians and Farmers were starved to death. The Balts were sent to the Gulags jew were trated badly.
2.The bureaucrats and their redundancy. Food rotted on railroad sidings and corruption like now is rampant.

Soviet Union was in fact an Empire,Eastern Europe and central Asian Countries were ruled by Russia,Belarus,Ukraine and Georgia.

Answer 3
