No, because there is good reason to believe that the world will become more communist in the future. For example, it has become more communist in the last 100 years. Also, the world population will stop increasing in the next 100 years. These aren't the only reasons either. The other belief is nothing more than faith.
Regardless of whether communism or capitalism is "right" or "wrong," any assertions as to the inevitability of either can only be described as delusional. It's exactly that sort of quasi-religious faith that largely led to 20th-century Marxism's failure in practice. Maybe with a nice dose of less comforting realism you guys could have succeeded. Exactly, but the general trend towards communism is not related to experiments with it during the last century. I'm also, not predicting that things come out all rosey either, just that things will change. Although I hope for the best.
