We'll never run out of ways to compare our political and religious beliefs. Fundamentally, they're the same type of belief. A belief about how the world ought to be which only makes sense in face of the fact that it is not. I doubt that a communist society would be a heavenly one in reality - and certainly not in the ideological world of american christianity. Would it be an improvement for the lives of many? Certainly - but that's more a comment on how debased some lives are than how effective the ideology is at governance in practice.
As for russia. I think we can draw a line between communism, and the effort to sell some other thing -as- communism. The utilitarian value of peoples desire for what they rightly or wrongly see as a "society of heaven". Thus... russias failures are it's own, and not communism's..properly. Same with any random hate preacher that tries to moderate their product in order to appeal to a larger market share by peppering their antimajoritarian views with populist appeals.
