Communism failed because of greed and the concentration of power to a small group of people. The more they concentrated power the more inequality there was and eventually the system failed.

Your description is highly inaccurate to begin with, but for one moment I will put it aside. Is there no hand, in "failure", of Western colonialist powers forming what is called today NATO, and what is called Cold War, going on since post WW2? You think 20+ million Russians died to defeat Nazis out of no reason?
