A syncretism of both systems is really the only way to get the positive results that I assume we all want. Capitalism is necessary for the kind of progress in production and living standards that we are accustomed to. But it is not a perfect system in and of itself, merely a tool to achieve certain things. Then, the best parts of communism are taken to complete the system. What's ironic is that a strong social safety net and strong regulations put in place in the right locations and manner actually STRENGTHEN the capitalist system. Just like communism, capitalism in democracy is easily corrupted by those at the top, particularly finance but also wealth accumulation in general. A strong "proletarian" class is thus necessary to balance it out. There's a reason capitalism is essentially the "default" system of economics. It is natural to humans and naturally aligns with our sense of ownership, fairness, etc. Communism was a beautiful experiment that ended in totalitarianism in every case; I would submit that social democracy is the logical conclusion of both systems and most likely the only system that actually works and, when employed correctly, results in decent returns for people at every level. In short, this question is loving stupid, as I'm sure the person who proposed it knows.
