That's been an issue in constant capitalist countries, too. That's not an issue of communism and is an unrelated complaint.

Yea, I know, I'm not defending capitalism. I'm saying every attempt at communism has been fucking horrible for not just landlords and capital owners.

And a lot of attempts have also been great at raising the standards of living for the general population, as well as for economic development in a relatively quick amount of time.

In the USSR those improvents were for Russia, not so much for their colonised regions where they exported resources from. Industrialisation also helped but that's not really unique to anything.
