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

what does communism have to say for itself?

Because I'd rather rely on myself than a ****gy government. BRB relying on them for communal housing, all of my food, all of my healthcare, my protection, etc. Being fully reliant upon them pretty much makes you a slave.

To be rich you have to be wealthier than most. Impossible when everyone's equal. But by god everyone can be poor when you're relying on the government for basic living.

Because communism requires coercion, force, and violence, while capitalism is a system of voluntary mutual agreement.

cause goverment does not allow it.

the concept of communism is that no one has so much money that he can rule the people. that's why in most communist countries the big companies are controlled by the state.
For example: Cuba just LEGALIZED small businisses... all bigger companies are owned by the state in Cuba.
In communism being wealthy is looked down upon because you are supposed to share everything with the state.

An easy analogy for communism is:
Communism is like a group project. Some work hard. Some show up 1-2 times. Some don't do anything. At the end of the day they all get the same grade.

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.
S.T.E.M.

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.

Capitalism doesn't "force" you to do anything. You're thinking of Socialism/Communism again.

No capitalism is a system that allows you to own the means of production so you can pay others to earn less than they produce so you can reap the profits.
