Humans act in a way that makes sense for them to act given the systemic pressures they're exposed to. This is exact same process as natural selection that drives evolution. The system selects for certain types of behaviors that are successful within the system. Bad things will happen in any human society, but the general direction of society is what matters.
Change happens because people make it happen not because they wait for the society to become magically enlightened.
Well, without a magically enlightenment any communism implementation will fail again and again, repeating the same failures of the past. Some people are arrogant or naive enough they will do a better, everlasting communism if they had the chance. History shows us the degradation of the initial values will follow. That's my opinion.
Go read up on socialist countries like China, Vietnam, and Cuba. This isn't a hypothetical discussion, socialist countries exist and they work a lot better than capitalist ones.
