I'd like to disagree with my worthy cocontributers above. Only one ideology has the eradication of communism as part of its platform, and that is fascism.
Capitalism and communism are opposites, yes, but not necessarily enemies. (they showed themselves willing to work together during WWII) But fascism listed communism as an enemy.

the element is, we're not heading in the direction of Communism. You watch too lots television, reiterating issues they you hear which haven't any authentic foundation. the feared familiar wellbeing care could be greater alongside the lines of socialism, because of the fact it can be a central authority run application. that never is going to undue our balloting equipment or how our government operates. If the banks and the vehicle marketplace wasn't bailed out, there could be tens of thousands greater unemployed. i'm guessing you don't understand what its prefer to loose your source of earnings once you have a relatives and a private loan to pay off, yet multiply that a number of thousand cases and it will become portion of easily all and sundry's challenge. The communism threat that has been perpetrated interior the media isn't something greater effective than a terror monger tactic, used to scare and hype human beings into performing irrational. The media did the comparable element following 9/eleven, and swiftly the well-known public enemy replaced into terrorism. understand that those ambiguous words can in no way be completely confronted, because of the fact they are merely words. by potential of claiming conflict on intimate gadgets or ideologies, you in result provide leaders complete discretion in the thank you to handle a challenge, by potential of any potential mandatory.

Communism, like Socialism and Nazism are all totalitarian left wing ideologies but to answer your question, historically Communism was uncompromising with any other ideology. Nazism, Fascism, Capitalism, democracy, monarchy, and any other governmental or economic system is fundamentally inompatible with communism. Even different flavors of communsim like Maoism and Stalinism cannot coexist because of different emphases placed on particular facets of the ideology of each.

Capitalism is the antithesis to Communism.
Notes: socialism is the more loosely defined term and encompasses communism
Communism, fundamentally, ia a system of social organization in which property (especially real property and the means of production) is held in common. Thus, the ejido system of the indigenous people of Mexico and the property-and-work system of the Inca were both communist, although the former was a matter of more or less independent communities cultivating their own lands in common and the latter a type of community organization within a highly organized empire.
In modern usage, the term Communism (written with a capital C) is applied to the movement that aims to overthrow the capitalist order by revolutionary means and to establish a classless society in which all goods will be socially owned. The theories of the movement come from Karl Marx, as modified by Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, leader of the successful Communist revolution in Russia. Communism, in this sense, is to be distinguished from socialism, which (as the term is commonly understood) seeks similar ends but by evolution rather than revolution.
Capitalism, an economic system based on private ownership of the means of production, in which personal profit can be acquired through investment of capital and employment of labor. Capitalism is grounded in the concept of free enterprise, which argues that government intervention in the economy should be restricted and that a free market, based on supply and demand, will ultimately maximize consumer welfare. These principles were most notably articulated in Adam Smith's treatise, The Wealth of Nations (1776), in which he opposed the prevailing theory of mercantilism. Capitalism has existed in a limited form in the economies of all civilizations, but its modern importance dates at least from the Industrial Revolution that began in the 18th cent., when bankers, merchants, and industrialists—the bourgeoisie—began to displace landowners in political, economic, and social importance, particularly in Great Britain. Capitalism stresses freedom of individual economic enterprise; however, government action has been and is required to curb its abuses, which have ranged from slavery (particularly in Britain and the United States) and apartheid (in South Africa) to monopoly cartels and financial fraud. Capitalism does not presuppose a specific form of social or political organization: the democratic socialism of the Scandinavian states, the consensus politics of Japan, and the state-sponsored rapid industrial growth of South Korea while under military dictatorship all coexist with capitalism. Yet despite the capitalist ideal of "hands-off" government, significant government intervention has existed in most capitalist nations at least since the Great Depression in the 1930s. In the United States, it exists in the form of subsidies, tax credits, incentives, and other types of exemptions. Though private production plays a major role in the economies of Germany and Japan, both nations have centrally planned industrial policies in which bankers, industrialists, and labor unions meet and seek to agree to wage policies and interest rates; these countries reject the idea of letting the market wholly determine the economy. The collapse of the Soviet Union and its satellite states in Eastern Europe (1989-91) left those countries with a heavy burden and an uncertain future, and represented a substantial retreat in the power of capitalism's traditional economic opponent, socialism. Also uncertain is the future course of China's economy, in which small-scale capitalism is increasingly allowed within a strictly Communist political framework.

Maureen is correct. One cannot exist where the other is. If Communism exist in a nation, Capitalism cannot and visa-versa. They are opposite systems.

Communism is popularly taught as being "left wing'.
it isn't. It's 'right-wing", a form of statism. When Communists competed with Nazis in Germany, they were rival right-wing dictatorships.
There are two opposites to statism--infallible-leader prgamtaism applied to a state as to-down planning, order issuing and enslavement of non-leaders (i.e. collectivism for the sake of maintaining "order").
One is its left-wing opposite, "socialism".
And the second is the opposite to both these medieval forms of collectivism, name "Objectivism".
