Literally not an argument

You don't need arguments, you need literacy rates, caloric intake and chocolate rations to have gone up since 1920.

So the Soviet system improving the livelihood of all who were touched by it is a bad thing?

No, the bad thing is that some cretins reify those statistics as if their entire existence itself is nothing but a statistic of statistics. That the interpretation of those statistics by our residient homo sovieticus show a complete lack of understanding of the field of statistics is besides the point, to argue based on them only confirms his premise; your life means nothing, there being a 200% increase in hydro-electric dams does.
Let's do a thought-experiment; let us take one of those tribes living in the Amazon jungle, one of those that is threatened by loggers. Their literacy rates are zero, they have high infant mortality, they have no electricity, their productive capacities have barely expanded since the stone age. If we were to kidnap this tribe, put them in a prison somewhere in the U.S where they can be put to work, teach their children literacy, provide free medical care to decrease infant mortality, and add a whole bunch of other stuff that would see increases in their statistics far greater than the soviet union ever did, would we then be doing that amazonian tribe a much greater service than the soviet union ever did to its people?

Unironically yes

What surprises me most when talking to the far-left is that I often find they don't so much oppose capitalism, to the contrary, it doesn't go far enough for them.

it's contrived anyway. the USSR didn't have to do any of that shit to help indigenous people (such as in Siberia) or Roma, they were all happy to have healthcare, education, electricity, etc. world communism would just give tribespeople goods and services in return for them taking care of the forests and fighting off illegal loggers.
