then why didn't they buy some fucking food

Whelp, jokes on me for expecting anything more then meme answers. Fyi, one of the reasons the Soviet Union went broke is they were buying food from America and other countries because the Khrushchev's liberal reforms of agriculture were a colossal failure; they literally traded gold for grain.

Even in spite of that they still sustained higher growth over the long-term then any OECD country bar Japan. The money wages by themselves were respectable on an international scale but when fringe benefits were added it was quite close to if not higher then that of a developed nation like West Germany in the 60s. It was considered a developed country and even a super-power up until the glasnost clusterfuck and turbo-neoliberal class genocide failure in the 90s.
