You are wrong. Capitalism and communism play together very nicely these days. Look at the wealty the chinese communist party has garnered from "free trade". Look at south america, whose response to the pressures from the US and Europe to sign "free trade" agreements is to shift further left,and now countries there are falling to communism just as Reagan predicted they would.
