it's the best we have

That sounds like inflation to me. I was referring to standards of living

There is no answer to this question, because like you posted earlier, it has never been implemented correctly. Communism at its core is simply sharing things rather then trading things. I think it could work if you had a democratically elected, term serving meritocratic councils which coordinate the beast. BUT you would also have to have veritably all the resources on Earth at your disposal. If those 2 criteria could be met, I think communism would be immensely better for our species, and despite what everyone here is saying (that we would be equally poor), quite the opposite would be true because we DO have the resources for it to be true. It's just a matter of proper implementation, structure, and execution. Going further, if the entire globe were united we could make government completely transparent (no state secrets to protect), and thus avoid corruption entirely.

It just feels like capitalism is system that is forcing me to sell my labor to survive. I produce more than I earn in wages.

but lets be honest, capitalism as an idea is goat but it isnt that goat in real life

government / dictator vs the people

That kind of is the answer in itself. It will always result in the government becoming exponentially more powerful, and, as a result, rich -- likely breeding a dictatorship or something similar. By the very definition you are centralizing all means to production under government rule. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

idk if you noticed but we arent run "by the people". just because other humans hold political offices doesnt mean they are our people

Well capitalism was responsible for all the technological and medical advances of the last 125 years.

what does communism have to say for itself?

Inflation is a direct result of oversaturation of the dollar. For instance, if you printed enough money to make everyone millionaires, then the value of the dollar decreases drastically. As supply increases, demand decreases (for the dollar in this scenario). So a loaf of bread goes up to $100,000 because vendors know that everyone has millions of dollars to spend. Therefore your buying power is not increased, and you are still effectively "poor".

check dis out:

Capitalism = sum very rich + sum very poor

Communism = everybody equally poor

There is a lot more to corruption than state secrets. Favoritism for example exists globally at a local level. For example, how person "A" can build whatever they want without a permit because they rubbed shoulders with the local building inspector. Socialism or capitalism or communism are all well intended ideas, but they are only as good as the people implementing them. A dictatorship is only as bad as the dictator.

Denmark is basically communist (their tax rates are like 90% when you earn over $40k)

they seem pretty happy
