In their pure forms (i.e. in theory) both systems have good and bad things about them... In practice both systems are pretty horrible. Granted Communism is right up there with any other dictatorship.
Captialism only succeeds as a system because it is flexible. It can absorb change and reform. It succeeds because of regulation. Unchecked Capitalism is just as souless as Stalin at his worst...
Child labour, indentured servitude, slavery are just samples of the glories of early Capitalism. The dark satanic mills of the industrial revolution are another... It is only with government interference (checks and balances) that Capitalism doesn't kill us all.
