If you can point to any facet of Soviet, Pol Pot or Maoist economic history that makes them look efficient please do so. The best one can say about any of them as far as I can see is that they were far superior to war and reasonable at heavy industry.

The US also entered a more command economy during wartime, when industries were nationalized or coerced into producing wartime supplies.
