That still doesn't change that there is absolutely zero evidence that communism is a viable alternative to capitalism, and that a socialist 'government' is a viable alternative to a democratic republic. On the other hand, there is a host of evidence that capitalism and democratic republics are fine selections of government and economy. Though, in regards to your comment, you'd be hard pressed to find the republic anywhere outside the walls or Rome, despite the vastness of the empire. You'd also be hard pressed to find democracy anywhere outside of Athens, despite the vastness of that empire. Conversely, the entirety of the Soviet Union had the same structure... no part any better than the other. The same can be said for China, Khmer Rouge Cambodia, and Juische Korea.
