The general misconception with communism exists becuase no true communist has ebver attempted to gain power anywhere. Lenin was not a communist nor a marxist. neither was Mao, neither was Castro. They are all fascists using Marx's words to garner pupular support.

Interestingly, there are no nations today that are capitlaist int eh spirirt of Adam Smith either. Both "The Wealth of Nations" and "Das Kapital" are theoretical and philosophical. It seems that both of the systems are equally flawed in the present state of the world. It is my opinion that communism does hold a possiblity of being prevalent in the future, while theoretical cpaitlaism is impossible.

The dominant (usually referred to as capitlaist) system of the world today is looselyy based on real capitalism, but is far less fair.
