Last I checked the USSR didn't do so well financially, and Russia is basically a criminal empire.

uhh, anarchism clears lol
It is the symptom, not the cause. Greed is the cause and it has been around a LOT longer than Capitalism.
Power not Greed. People don't hoard wealth just to look at a pile of coins, they do it to control other people
Sad to say, but humans are the root of evil. Atrocities have been done in the name of all sorts of things, but it's always humans carrying it out.

Because at then end ,power over the people is given to the state. When you give the state the means of production and that state falls under the sway of humans with power, you get corruption and death.
Once a place has enough people, anonymity happens. We stop knowing our neighbors and leaders. We don't see the corruption they can now hide. Communism gives an easier way to leverage that corruption and power more easily
Socialism, more specifically forms of democratic socialism ( and with today's tech it can be one vite one person), is far more scalable and stable
We need a new constitution with more power given to the people and LESS to the state
