The only person making bad faith argument here is you buddy. Also, if you think that what you're doing here passes for debate I feel sorry for you.
What standards is communism not living up to, you never defined those. This is literally an example of a bad faith argument and goal post moving on your part.
You have shown no such thing here. What goals does communism turns on exactly? You're just stating random nonsense here as fact.
None of the capitalist countries are able to do what USSR or Cuba have done which is ensure that everyone has housing, education, healthcare, jobs, and a retirement. That's just a basic fact of the situation.
It implies no such thing, and if you had basic reading comprehension skills then you'd see that I've explicitly said that it doesn't matter why US claims to arrest people.
This is just a straw man you keep building that has nothing to do with anything I said. Nowhere did I say that USSR didn't imprison people for political reasons. Every country arrests people for political reasons, including western capitalist regimes you're so fond of. Assange is currently being tortured in UK for political reasons, and that's just one example. Again, the question is regarding the rate of incarceration, and here USSR did a lot better than vast majority of capitalist regimes.
The arrests in USSR weren't arbitrary that's just something you made up.
You have yet to demonstrate on what basis you claim the arrests in USSR were any more arbitrary than arrests in western countries are. What made these arrests arbitrary do elaborate.
Why would you lie about something that can be easily googled, you're an utter clown
