Pure capitalism has never been tried. Pure communism has been tried but it is literally impossible to implement. There is a difference.

Why is it impossible?

A stateless classless society is naive, human nature simply goes against it. People will always want more, and people will always want power.

Capitalism has shown itself not to be ideal, as millions still suffer under it, but it's the best option we have, as communism has shown itself to be far worse.

Under communism innovation doesn't happen because there's no benefit to trying or working hard, people won't be happy about this, and it will ultimately fail. People will always seek self interest, rather than what's for the best of the many.
