Could not compete against the free market system.

Of course, communism isn't made to compete. It's like comparing grenades to houses.
Example:
War is bad for the people, but good for the economy (capitalist). So when there are wars (or proxy wars), capitalism (for the economy) will always profit and communism (for the people) will suffer. And because it's easier to start wars, capitalism will reenforce nationalism and radicals, leading to war and capitalism coming out "more successful".
Resources wasted on war, are resources that could be put into education, health system, science and agriculture (etc.). All of these things are good for life, war is not. But the artificial concept of nationalism blinds people, and leads them to reevaluate their "priorities".
Currently the west is the best (economically speaking), but if that changes, we will be the ones that suffer and slave for others. Then We won't be saying that capitalism is the best, but we won't have to power and position to say anything at all either.
But yeah, as long as we have gigantic shopping centered and other mass consumerists distractions, we do have a fantastic life. Woo Mc Donalds!

Oh boy, propaganda memes.
Not only is this is this obviously historically incorrect, it doesn't even hold up to rudimentary analysis. China is stronger than ever. Cuba, the conservative stalwart is still chugging along. North Korea is probably the worst off economically but that clearly is not stopping it. The USSR at its end was one of the most liberal of the Soviet style countries.

Not harsh enough. Basically Russian history in a nutshell.
LATVIA

He got old. Still, Ghostbusters was fantastic, and that holiday special he did for Netflix wasn't bad either.

Democracy into firm. Every worker should do not have vote in election of a Director of Firm. Mikhail Gorbachev this did not understand, he conducted experiment onto a gigantic scale. Himself placed rakes - himself on them and tread on. And then it ran out from the country as coward and still do not return back.

Nothing.
