The Soviet Union was working towards Communism, if it wasn't dissolved then Humanity as a whole would be a lot farther along in the transition to Communism globally. The Soviet Union was not an "autocracy," nor did it have "ambitions of world domination." Such claims come from Red Scare nonsense.
I recommend you read Blackshirts and Reds.
Sure it wasn't. And, say, attempts to limit citizens' freedoms of [speeh, movement, religion (although I personally think it's cancer)] or even music they listen to are just a coincidence. Look, I'm not saying USSR was all bad, but, frankly speaking, trying to depict it as some kind of heaven on earth is just as flawed as the red scare you've mentioned.
Youre totally right. west germany built a wall to keep people from running away to the communism utopia next door. Wait a minute...
