Communism may not be perfect, but it's also never really had a chance to prove itself.
Competition against capitalism and being ran by the soviets is not a representation of communism. Frankly all systems end up being ran by the same assholes doing the same things, just under different names and laws.

Also if I was gonna criticize the USSR the last thing I'd point at is their infrastructure, they built shit to last or at the very least be repaired easily.

How many years and 100s of millions dead does it have to take for idiots to learn communism is a failed ideology? Even china had to open their markets or face the inevitable.

It's actually a political theory in the context that both you and the previous comment use it. Ideology would be party-specific or individual-specific interpretations of Marx and Engels original work, or classical Marxism. China is a Socialist Republic which is run by "Communist Party," which claims to be Marxist-Leninist-Maoist (an ideology), but is actually a capitalist hell hole that produces an elite class and billionaires even faster than the US does. The communist title is used all around the world often as a rouse gain and keep popular support from the proletariat class.

Oh really? Go for it, there expert. They stopped being Maoist decades ago. You have google. Use it. Just because a country claims to still be communist doesn't make it so. Go to bed child.
