Best Answer

Primarily Capitalist, though there is free education and most forms of basic medical care are provided by the state. However, tax rates are low, and most of the economy is private (i.e., capitalist).

No, it was a communist country, from my history textbook.

Yes, it was. Soviet Russia was a socialist country because it had none of the aspects of communism that Karl Marx said communism would have. First, there was a government, and a very repressive one at that. Marxian communism would have no government at all. Government would have "withered away" according to Marx as being unnecessary.

Soviet Russia was still a society of classes, whereas communist society would be a classless society.

Even Marx knew that communism had to be preceded by a long period of socialism during which time all remaining vestiges of capitalist thought would have to be wiped out. He predicted this would take generations.
