Central planning enabled even the poorest peasants to have enough food, shelter, education and medical treatment.
The government of the Soviet Union was characterized by a communist system where private property was abolished, and all means of production were owned collectively by the state. This system aimed to eliminate class distinctions and promote equality, with the government controlling economic planning and distribution of resources. The state implemented central planning to manage the economy, which often led to inefficiencies and shortages. Overall, the absence of private property was a fundamental aspect of Soviet ideology and governance.
They moved to a mixed economic system.
The economic policies of the former Soviet Union were a major failure which is just one of the reasons the Soviet Union no longer exists. Consumer goods were 2nd to Defense projects and Space exploration. Finally the leaders of the USSR realized that centralized economic planning simply cannot work. Freer economies have their faults but few can compare to the dismal performance of "communist" Economics.
In the Soviet Union under Mikhail Gorbachev, the trend toward private ownership of business represented a move away from the strict state-controlled economy that characterized the earlier years of communist rule. Gorbachev's policies of perestroika aimed to introduce elements of market economics and decentralize economic control, allowing for greater individual entrepreneurship. This shift marked a significant departure from the ideology of collective ownership and central planning that had dominated the Soviet system. Ultimately, these reforms contributed to the unraveling of the Soviet economic structure and the eventual collapse of the Soviet Union.
One negative effect of the Soviet Union's central planning was the widespread inefficiency in resource allocation, which often led to shortages and surpluses of goods. This rigid system stifled innovation and adaptability, as state planners struggled to respond to consumer needs and market changes. Additionally, the lack of competition resulted in low-quality products and services, ultimately diminishing the standard of living for many citizens.
Refering to the economic system it means that there is government ownerships and a central planning board.

Total and complete central planning. Some degree of market activity is necessary for an economy to even function. Experiments with pure central planning - such as the Puritans in 1620 and the Russians around 1920 - always end in economic reforms after near collapse.
Not necessarily, you can have a capitalist economic system under an authoritarian regime as well as under a democratic regime. Some forms of economy, like central planning, occur much more easily under an authoritarian system than a more democratic one, but it is not wholly impossible for a democratic regime to embrace central planning.
not entirely sure, but i think it's mixed capitalism
an economic system in which the central government directs all major economic decisions
yes
False, central planning committees are a creation of a Marxist system not a free enterprise system.

Capitalism is the economic system currently replacing Communism in former Soviet countries.
