The problem are the People not communism.

Capitalism is bad for the "Normal" people with little money. Capitalism is only good for the Big Damn Concerns. I'm not one of these, i ain't rich, so to hell with Capitalism!

Thats my way of view.
I disagree.

Every political system is corrupt. The capitalist government is no less corrupt than the USSR's. Heck if you ask any US citizen he/she will openly admit that Washington politicians are greedy, corrupt, balantly, openly, and continuously showing that their true loyalties can be bought by political power and campaign funding.

Heck one of the original arguments of Marx against capitalism was that capitalism was inherently more prone to corruption. Its citizens openly motivated by greed and self-interest rather than duty or loyalty... even US military development is governed by one thing and one thing only... money, with contractors working only for self-interest to make cash off military contracts, which motivates quality.

So the corruption on both sides, capitalism and communism, is equal... given that... why did one side become the most dominant economic force in the history of civilization... and the other represent one of the worlds largest collapse?

Capitalism > Communism. Its been proven.
