AMUSING, INTERESTING, OUTRAGEOUS, or PROFOUND

Capitalism evolved and gradually formed over time but is viewed as beginning around the 16th century and really cementing itself during the industrial revolution

So, 200 to 400 years old and still not collapsed. Showing signs of having some problems, but still the predominant form used in the most powerful countries in the world.

Meanwhile communism (or at least the first step on the path to communism) was first attempted in 1922 and lasted (if you're really generous) until 1991, at which point it completely collapsed. In China the communist party took control in 1949 and already in 1978 they had to change it, claiming they could somehow participate in the world's market economy without being capitalist. Since Jiang Zemin the Chair of the Central Military Commission, President of China and General Secretary of the party have all been held by one person. Yet again, a supposedly "communist" system leads to one where one person is in charge of everything who rules until death or a coup.

Maybe corruption is inevitable, but it seems to happen much more completely and much more quickly when a country calls itself "communist".
