Why do we just take random guesses as to why "communist" states fail?

Economic calculation problem. U.S.S.R was cnetraly planned toward military spending creating countless dead-weight losses and dragging the whole economy with it. Very similar to what is happening with the U.S.A today. Only decentralized markets are able to have some semblance of direction toward optimal and efficient goals. 

Although I'm sure the communists will say it was because of capitalists compromising socialists states and if the world were all socialist these states would've never collapsed.
