Communism is great if we're all robots without the capacity for corruption, greed, and evil. It will never work for the human race.

wouldn't corruption, greed, and evil be disminished when money isn't as powerful ?

Money isn't powerful, the economic control money represents is powerful. In a central planned economy that power is placed in the hands of a powerful bureaucracy to distribute as they see fit which is an ideal breading ground for corruption. This is why bureaucrats in China can afford a Ferrari even though the car cost 20 to 40 years worth of their salary.

china is capitalistic now - and their bureaucracy remained corrupt for very specific reason : a one party system + not enough checks and balances + a sudden rise in investment and financial attraction)

if i wanna corrupta chinese bureaucrat i give him money, not a job, money

China is partially capitalist. It's still run by a central government which artificially devalues their money.
