I mean technically the Russians are too now. Pulling out of INF.... complicated. Because only Russia and U.S. were bound by it, China could make weapons restricted by it (and did), while U.S. and Russia could only watch.

Woah there, who said the USSR was communist?

Also, somewhat irrelevant, but this is worth looking at; it's actually very interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nostalgia ... viet_Union

One way would be that it led to a lower standard of living than the capitalist systems.

Although there is nostalgia, it only came decades after the collapse of the USSR. I believe most ordinary citizens of the USSR were glad that it ended.

It's not really a fair comparison. Many former communist countries had low standards of living before they even became communist(Republic of China for example).
Plus, it's not like capitalism doesn't have the same problems. Look at what capitalism did to Africa.
