you are talking about some specific brands of communist thought. Mao had some ideas. Lenin had others. lots of other groups have tried different ideas to varying degrees of success. there are a lot of schools of thought who strongly disagree on each-other's methods. one particular disagreement is on the utility and viability of a "vanguard party" or "dictatorship of the proletariat". history has shown us that it doesn't work.

capitalism is useful. collective action is powerful. individual empowerment is important.

Capitalism v. Communism is a good dialectic, but framing it as a war is stupid. it isn't about winning for one side or the other, its about building an economic system that maximizes our happiness and potential in an efficient way.
