Capitalism needs more than just the extraction of surplus value, like private property and some market mechanisms. While the USSR did basically exploit the peasants for their surplus value in order to fund industrialization, so did every other country. it's how economic development works. And I'd say collectivization (which was the program this guy refers to) was distinct enough from capitalist projects for it not to be capitalist even though there is still exploitation.
