Being told how my grandma had problems and was eventually told to shut down her knitting production (done in free time in addition to regular work) by police in the Communist Poland, I believe that it's better to have somehow upgraded capitalism then try to build a good communism just one more time.
It still got her enough extra buck to build a house in the city after moving out from the village.
Communism is neither the opposite of laissez-faire capitalism nor the only alternative.
