At what point did the USSR stop actually trying to build communism?

About five minutes after consolidating power

They never really tried. Charitably they were hoping it would start to become possible once the USSR was dominant over the west

Very charitably

When Trotsky was exiled, he was the last hope for international socialism.

good thing he died then. Stalin aint that bad after all

Nyet.

they never annexed enough shit

if you can cease a lot of infrastructure you can start the transformation but they never got europe or even japan. They had to play along with the capitalists until they collapsed

My understanding is after ww2 they got too afraid of doing change to their economy. The little change they did was too little too late.

Trotsky was a filthy Menshevik traitor and the axe was well deserved
