Theories that Soviet growth was fake are nonsense. If you don't trust GDP you can look at hard to fake proxies like life expectancy.
For comparison, during the same time life expectancy in Capitalist Mexico (closest dot on 1913 gapminder chart) grew only from 30 to 52.
I think you need to think in more categories than just capitalist and communist.
