Communism: You die if you don't work for the group.

Capitalism: You die if you can't find work.

Clearly they're both garbage.

It never fails to amaze me that the beneficiaries of an economic system that created the personal computer and the internet and the free time enabling them to broadcast their ridiculous opinions still find it reasonable to inveigh against that system.

^ That comic might have been insightful, if capitalism weren't responsible for all of society's advancements while communism only ever caused more suffering.

A guy says two systems stink and someone responded just like that dude in the comic. And then you did it too. Communism is not desirable, yes. Crony capitalism or a push towards pure capitalism would not be good either. "Life could be better, says someone posting from one of the most advanced countries in the world!" is constantly used as a gotcha and it's stupid. It is no different than mentioning starving African children. If we are going to continue to be a progressive country built on an amalgamation of many ideas, then there is no sense in getting complacent now. We can never be good enough.

Do you know think the USSR was Communist? If so how come their inventions don't count?

People are ignoring the elephant in the room. The reason communism exists in the first place is because capitalism failed in some areas of the world. The US had a communist scare just like every other country. Why was the us able to retain capitalism? If wasn't because this country is not a 100% capitalist country like it was. Also, you can't ignore geopolitics, demographics, and being an ex British colony.

The second panel would be more accurate if it depicted the communists as starving to death.

I already responded to this. :v They outright aren't mutually exclusive. You can have aspects of both.
