I think one of the criticisms of the USSR is that it economically looted the satellite states at least at first so I think we’d first need to firmly establish where wealth flowed over time before we talk about that.

I also have some problems calling N. Korea specifically both socialist and a Soviet satellite, neither of which is true imo but you could still say similar things about the actual satellites so I think the point remains.
