Pure communism and pure capitalism end up at the same place -- a ruling class.
Neither of them last peacefully, and that's the operative word, peacefully, because the ruling class ends up in a pecker contest and abusing its underlings. It's just human nature.
Our government and France's government were the first to try to implement self-government after the enlightenment and open publication of the Bible. We did well for a while and the French are still doing well. It is easier for them because they are closer to the old churches and teachings.
On the other hand we are alone on an island and far removed from the source of enlightenment. In our hunger for truth we tend to attach to snake oil salesmen such as Ayn Rand and wealth evangelists.
It's a nasty game and the Communists are winning. They are so good at it that not even American Christians can smell it out. Here is a video of them flailing. They beat on atheist Marx but turn a blind eye to atheist Rand.
