The "American dream" was based on a much earlier (and just as false and terrible) idea of manifest destiny.
Also, communism has never been achieved for it to have failed:

For practical purposes it failed. If every attempt to achieve it failed then it's just a failure.
If you follow the subjective "it was never really achieved for it to fail" logic then anyone can claim nothing ever fails.
Meritocracy and the American dream didn't fail, we just never achieved it for it to fail then?
