That's very true. What both systems ultimately suggest aren't so much problems with either Communism or Capitalism as the problems that can arise when a theory (regardless of whether it's Marx's or Adam Smith's) is put into practice in such a way that forces it to use actual people instead of idealised social 'types'.
