I'll take your word for it, but its philosophically worthless, because communism as a concept hasn't been around very long, and as a system of government, it has never been really practiced. It has been promised by various dictatorships, but they always ended up as another form of hierarchical power, military and/or bureaucratic.

There are 8 billion people alive today. This would not be possible without industrial capitalism. They would all die - of natural causes, of course.
