Which comes back to my main argument: both have failed, so either both are bad, or we have a people problem instead of a system problem.
Except all your examples from communism are from 80 years ago at least and capitalism is currently failing. The main reason communism failed is because it was under siege for it's entire existence and yet, after 1947 they stopped the famines, reindustrialized and won the space race. The same isn't true for the capitalist world, they are doing the siege.
