What's sad is that you think you're the one being realistic, when your theory of change is complete fantasy.
What we're talking about has been done and accomplished before and exists in the real world, including the largest nation on earth. What you're talking about has never happened
Well, the US has a form of capitalism that has led to as much success as any other system in that it has allowed more of its people to be more prosperous for longer than any other system in history, but I wouldn’t exactly say it’s “working”.
By that definition no system does, and none will without substantially better active engagement by the people in electoral processes and complete accountability in elected officials to do the job they were hired to do.
The Soviet Union lasted for decades and at the time was on the cutting edge of science, math, industry, social sciences etc and became the second leading superpower only 20 years after forming. Pretty successful if you ask me. It took the US over 100 years to do anything similar.
Then there’s China which is looking to be even more successful than that.

Please provide me an example of communism working on a long-term scale and how you define “working”.
People's Republic of China. Worlds largest democracy. Largest manufacturing nation - poised to be world's largest economy. Seems pretty successful
A communist democratic nation that denies it’s own rebellions?
Communism is democratic. The USSR, Cuba, Vietnam, China all have democracy. If you knew what you were talking about you would know that.
Can you name an example of capitalism working
