If you're not happy - try to improve something, get active, vote - if you don't succeed, move to another country. But inform yourself first - you will quickly realise that no system is perfect, the way YOU would want it. Or me.
As for communism - it is an ideal, an utopia - but it's based on the believe that people are honest, hard working and care about each other. That's utopian as well.
I'm studying medicine - I would not be ready to work so hard, so much, if I get paid the same as everybody else. Capitalism is, with all it's flaws, the best system we have ATM, people are being motivated to do something. People are lazy ad egoistic by nature. This is why, as long as we have to fight for resources and wealth, communism won't work.
In a post-scarcistic system, communism will be best. Before that - capitalism.
Just look at Germany - we have a lot of wellfare here - and there are thousands who don't have a job, don't want one, and they live better then those who work for a living (sometimes).
It's just not fair that people get anything for doing nothing, while those who try get punished.
Here in America the richest of the rich use their money and influence to gather more and more money and influence. In the past 20 years the top 1% have gone from owning 10% of our nation's capital to owning 25%. The average American corporate ceo pays himself between 200 and 300 times more than the average worker of his own company. They use that money to lobby our government and support candidates. Thus their taxes have lowered steadily over the past 20 years and they manage to block or stall any sort of Wall Street oversight which directly lead to the sub prime mortgage debacle to caused our current recession.
Playing on people's greed (capitalism) was a far better system than assuming people are inherently good (communism) but this system is starting the tear itself apart as well.
but over my cold dead body will I allow my country to fall into the death trap that is communism.
