If by "the people" you mean a small percentage of elites then sure. And I expect the elites in society to put safety rails on their gravy train any day now.

Communism has far and away provided the best and most benefits to the people the problem is when Communism is allowed to run with corrupt leaders

Why do you believe that?

The vast majority of world poverty reduction that capitalists claim has been from China. But hey, maybe China is a capitalist economy but you just need a communist government to regulate it effectively.

Which seemed to stay on the rails for many decades...but with a global capitalist economy there is currently no authority which can keep multinational corpo's and billionaires on the rails. They live between the rules of any one country.

Not true we can and have broken up monopoly before Marxism is a defeatist ideology that has failed everywhere it has been tried because in spite of what it claims to bring control to the workers it actually takes control from them and transfers it to the state which is even worse than the capitalist

Yeah, and this is not a view of “the right” anymore. I know that leftism used to terminate with hard capitalism but if anyone is still advocating for that, I think they are on a different scale entirely. Being leftist these days is about proper environmental regulation, policies that encourage wealth equality, and using government to address the needs of the most vulnerable. It terminates at something like The Netherlands. Capitalism is no longer up for debate. Very little about foreign policy is either.
