There are many disadvantages with Both Capitalism and Communism. The disadvantages of Capitalism is that any big country piles lot of money by attacking poor countries all over the world. Once upon a time more than 85% of earth was under the control of The Great Britain.
In the Contrary , In communism,people loss interest in work , and demotivated because everything belongs to the state and no one can own private property.
So I would suggest forming newer ideology which will be a blending of Controlled Capitalism and Liberalized Communism and that will be called Neo-Capitalo-Communism

Communism does not allow private property and capital for its citizens since everything belongs to the State. It is a form of dictatorship - dictatorship of the proletariat, as claimed by Karl Marx himself. Time and again, It has been proved that dictatorship in any form leads to anarchy since the voices of the general public are suppressed. Disintegration of Soviet Russia is a glaring example due to serious setback in the country's economy and progress.. The main reason behind this tragedy was complacency of the working masses who gradually lost interest in their work because of lack of competition and no scope to build personal assets, while the basic requirements were taken care of by the State. China too was heading toward a similar catastrophe but its leaders were prompt in reacting and liberalising the policies.
On the other hand, the earlier system Capitalism ( term first coined by Karl Marx for Free Enterprise) has been flourishing in majority of the nations of the world without any problem and ensures proper welfare of its citizens. This system of governance has been most successful and popular in all ages.

In theory communism is supposed to work much better then it actually does. It has been determined that a communism type society functions best with around 150 people. This can been seen in some of the ancient hunter gatherer groups were everyone provided for the common good of the group. You get larger groups and people start distancing themselves form the group and focus more on themselves, their family, and their friends. In which case a capitalist society becomes healthier.

Capitalism may have its faults, but Communism is far, far worse. The best way I can describe it is like this: Capitalism is like you buy a cow for one price and sell it for double that amount. Then you buy two cows and sell them for double what you paid. Eventually, you end up with a whole herd of cows at a substantial profit. In Communism, you allow each person in a village to have two cows. If one dies, you have to give the other one back to the Government. If both die, and you try to get milk from your neighbor, you and your entire family get shot and killed. Which would you choose?

Communism is a political ideology. Capitalism is a social ideology. They are not opposites.
If you are asking if Socialism or Capitalism is better, I guess it depends where you are in the social ladder (socialism is good for the lower classes).
If you are asking if Communism or Democracies are better. I would say Democracies. Communism, even in its purest sense, doesn't work because people naturally want more than their neighbors.

Capitalism of course! Never in history has a socialist or communistic society succeded. Communism & socialism
are caste societies. Only the elite prosper. And if you were not born into the elite community you would never get there.

Depends on what you prefer . . . in "theory" communism is better because everyone is supposed to be treated equally. However, treating everyone equally is just not possible.
Capitalism has proven to be a better form of government historically, but it is not perfect as we all know.

Depends on the venture. When it comes to creating a standard of living for your nation and people aquiring certain luxeries then defintely capitalism. If you are talking about healthcare or education then definitely communism.

CAPITALISM OR COMUNISM?
YOU FORGOTT THE PRINCIPAL. THE MAN.
IF MEN ARE STILL KILLING HIS BROTHERS, DESTROYNG THE PLANET, THINKING MORE IN MONEY AND IN IN HIMSELF THAN THE OTHERS THAT LIVE HERE, IN EARTH, THE SYSTEM IS THE LESS THING.
IF MAN COULD BE MORE KIND, MORE HONEST, MORE RESPONSIBLE WITH HIS BROTHERS, WITH ALL KING OF LIFE, HE COULD BE HAPPY WITH ANY ONE OF THIS SYSTEMS.
THE PRINCIPAL PROBLEM IS IN THE MAN, NOT IN THE SYSTEM.
IF YOU CHANGE THE SYSTEM BUT DON"T CHANGE THE MAN, YOU DON'T CHANGE NOTHING.
