It’s not capitalism once you employ violence such as government...
Funny, because that's the same excuse the Marxists have been using: The ideology is perfect, it's just not applied correctly. As long as you get to compare the rosy ideal that only exists in your mind with the grim facts of actual reality, the ideal wins out. Daydreams can outpace reality every day of the week, can't they? We have seen the results of unfettered capitalism, thankyouverymuch.
The message of communism is attractive because they tell people they will get free services and entitlements. Then the marketplace can't sustain the giveaways because many companies leave the country and go elsewhere because of high tax rates. The tax base shrinks and the country goes broke leaving those who wanted free stuff , without any jobs, no services and no entitlements.
Communism does not work. Too many freebies and the shrinking tax base cannot sustain it. Venezuela the example.

No it was attractive because in the 1800s it was a tiny tiny elite that owned basically everything and workers and farmers where sustenance paid serfs, with an oppressive secret police that would jail anybody critical about the Czar!
When you have NOTHING, while a tiny fraction have EVERYTHING... it sounds like justice that workers and farmers gets ownership of the economy.
Developed Democratic states knew the dangers, and mixed their capitalism with social benefits, so workers and farmers would not rise up and destroy the country. They spread the wealth and rights out to everybody.. and created Social Democracis... the most beneficial and prosperous economic and political system that exists!!
You live in X country.. you will get healthcare, schooling, childcare, sanitation, roads, fire deparment, police, defense, safe food and products and government assistance when you need it, all paid for by taxes. But you work in a capitalistic private marked and you pay taxes so your children and children's children will benefit as you did and further our society.
The very concept goes against the very nature of humans. We can't all be "equal", there are lots of smart and lots of stupid people, and the smart ones naturally will gain more, so why did so many in the 20th century actually think the concept of Communism was ever good or could even work? There's a reason every Communist country has ALWAYS been ruled by the worst dictators ever.

Except that capitalism doesn’t require violence to implement.

Regardless it works or not, the real point is communism is evil and deeply immoral.
Think about it, if you have to employ violence to implement your idea, it’s must be an evil idea.
You can’t name one communist policy that doesn’t require violence to implement.
