Communism as Marx described, has to do more with the complete automatization of the means of production, and the subsequently change of the structure of society, as a result of post scarcity.

Remember that just past Mars humanity has a near infinite repository of resources, it's only on this earth that we are subjected to the rat race, when we have the wealth of the universe so close.

You may think that I'm dreaming, but if we let capital unchecked, it will destroy us, and destroy earth. We have nothing to lose but our chains.

I am all in favor for heavily regulated and checked capitalism. Like it or not, its the most successful system and it can be a source for good when heavily regulated and used as an input source for a socialist system that takes care of all.
