Who decides what theory is right or wrong? It can be proven by practice over a period of time. i.e: Some opined communism failed - and cited USSR as an example.
I think that in the study of any political system, one needs to delve into the details:
"communism failed" is true insofar as the communist revolutionaries were in the first place corrupt insofar as they had neither the ability nor the moral conviction to sustain nor mandate for their proposal of extreme equality: most were dictators wannabes using glib language and saccharine promise that they failed to fulfill without the organisation of capitalist productivity. But China (a self proclaimed communist country) is now outwitting the US in its own Capitalist economy by also endorsing capitalist productivity, although I do think that both Chinese and American economies would eventually breakdown (as predicted by Marx) due to Capitalist interest hijacking democratic right, resulting in an economy characterized by spiritual sterility and gross social inequality.
