Communism is young. At this point in capitalism's history, it was all colonization, genocide, and slavery. Apples to apples, I'd rather live in the Soviet Union under Stalin than a South Asian under the Dutch East India company.

Not to mention that many capitalists nations had the benefit of established industry whereas the Russians and Chinese had to transition from an agrarian society into socialism.

Soviet Union was a colonial state. North Asia (also known as Siberia) were its colonies and continue to be colonized by modern day Russia
