This is the same as capitalism vs communism: capitalism is good at individual level, not so good at society level. Communism is good at society level, not so good at individual level.

Can you point to a single example in history of communism being good for society? Its benefits are thus far theoretical, are they not?

URSS becoming the second world economy and China now arguable the first one, moving millions (billion?) of people out of poverty.

Sure, you just have to look at various primitive societies that lived in villages to see how communism actually works well for society.

The problem is that no one has been able to scale it up to a modern industrialized nation-state and get it to work out well there. Every time they've tried, it's been a disaster.
