The Soviet Union was the world’s first socialist state. They in fact did the absolute opposite of what the US is doing now. The Soviet Union helped liberate colonies around the world, supporting revolutions in countries like Algeria and Cuba, which earned them the ire and sanctions from the capitalist bloc.
The US Empire is imperialist, bank and industrial capital merged to form finance capital long ago, and this has centered the US economy around capital export and expropriation of wealth from the global south. It’s no coincidence that the African socialists of the 20th century, like Kwame Nkrumah, turned to the Soviet Union for support in industrializing.
