    Communism also failed to fend off capitalism - and before you say b-but actually the USSR lasted a really long time,

    The USSR being couped didn’t stop it from sponsoring revolutionary movements around the globe until the coup. The US still hasn’t defeated places like Cuba. In this sense the project still lives on.

    ask yourself if the USSR at any point actually lived up to the ideals of the revolution.

    Yes, in many ways. In some ways it did not.
