But whatever it is, a good government is one that makes people happy, be it communist or capitalist.

Comunism, like democracy, is too idealistic. I doubt it will happen ever. Sure, a government that always looks out for its people sounds great, but how many unselfish people can you pull out these days to run a government like that?

I still laugh when people call China “one of the last few communist countries”… communist? heh… its capitalist down to the last tax (taxes which communism is ideally against anyway).
