it isn't a no true scotsman if we never actually changed our definitions. No country has ever had communism, no matter how much the party claimed them to. If I just started claiming I was a cloud, there is nothing wrong with people saying that I am not a cloud, regardless if lots of people also start calling me a cloud.

>Communism in the USSR didn't work because the WHOLE WORLD wasn't communist
Correct, there is no way to transition to socialism when you are forced to compete on the world market place with capitalism, because this would require capitalist economic categories to persist within the economy, dooming you to continue to accumulate capital (i.e. still be capitalist). But the world revolution did actually make a lot of progress. The international workers' movement reared its head and showed itself to be a force to be reckoned with. The revolution made significant progress, but not enough.
