Capitalism sucks for the same reason Communism sucks. For the same reason Libertarianism would REALLY fucking suck.

Because people fucking suck.

People will always abuse the power they have to keep/accrue more of it.

What do you know about the political structures Communists propose? Communists advocate for recall elections, councils of worker units, and delegates selected from among workers.

Look at unions. Absolutely necessary for workers to unite and fight being taken advantage of by the companies who see them as nothing more than a number on a sheet. But then they can become the problem. (Look at the police unions for a perfect example.)

Shocker, a good structure can be used for the wrong thing if it protects the soldiers of Capitalism against the rest of the workers.

There needs to be a balance and Communism is not it.

What's good about balance? How would you even achieve a balance, and why would it be better than Communism? All of your points have been vibes.

All of my points have been vibes?

They were specific examples.

Lol, you're a fucking dumbass that will refuse to listen to any argument that might actually cast doubt on your fantasy.

It's called cognitive dissonance and makes you no better than a trumplican.

What "specific example" did you give? Is "religion" a specific example? Lmao
