I'm going to have to bow out on how the Soviet Union or various People's Republics should be categorized.

A part of the issue is that there is no pure system. Authoritarian socialist regimes had or have capitalist elements. Capitalist regimes have socialist elements.

So while I can see the argument that so-called "communist" regimes were in fact "state capitalist," I can neither endorse nor refute it. Ultimately, it hinges on how much of each you can have to categorize as either, and I haven't the first idea how to decide that.
