Collapsing the current system does not need a communist revolution to succeed in brining rights and liberties to the oppressed, in fact the Bolshevik revolution, if one looks back at the sucessful foreign revolution in Russia, indeed, it was, funded by Jewish bankers in New York and Frankfurt, Germany as well as gentile industrialists and capitalists who looked to take out an imperial opponent out of the war. The Mensheviks were largely Jewish as well as the Bolsheviks at least in the top echelon of the parties, however, many of the lower class Russian citizens, and the peasants were severely persecuted by Tsar Russia who made business with the Rothschilds of all people.

When the uprising occurred in large city centers against imperial Russia, peasants were largely on Lenin and the Bolsheviks side. History shows that the Bolsheviks were infiltrated and largely controlled by industrialists who wished to destroy Russia. The Bolsheviks later-on turned on the Paesants and became debauchees, lording it over everyone else and creating a centralized, right-leaning communist authoritarian state.

It would be quite easy to maintain a system of competition, capitalism and socialism, the likes of Proudhon writes about this, one should read him, his ideas are quite unlike Marx's who never worked a day in his life.

    That is literally what the communists have been predicting: The capitalist system will get more and more oppressive and unsustainable, then the workers will rise up and create utopia. Except that didn't happen, people seemed to prosper under capitalism - so instead of accepting that their theories were wrong, they changed strategy and are now trying to break the system themselves. They will keep pretending the current system is capitalism, while overregulating the market so everything collapses eventually, and they can have their revolution. It's quite insane, really.
