Ok, great, both systems have done good things and bad ones. Now let's make a balance.
Capitalism by the UK, in India alone, has murdered over a hundred million people. Tell me something on the same order of magnitude done by the USSR (hint: the worst famine in the USSR was 5 million deaths and less than a million people died in Gulags).
Communism has defects in real life implementation, but if it's empirically better at giving better life outcomes at comparable levels of development, why not go for it?
