The west doesn't at all do the same thing, it completely eradicates massive swaths of people via massive genocidal campaigns, enslaves survivors, and uses this as fuel to colonize the global south. The soviets focusing on industrial development and therefore improving the quality of life, life expectancies, and more of the various peoples in the soviet union while preserving their ethnic identities and cultures is astronomically different.
Your comment is borderline genocide denial.
