Pure communism doesn't work because of corruption. I get that. Pure capitalism doesn't work either too, and we're seeing that now, among many other problems.

It's more complicated than that. Communism is essentially a utopian, one that is totally unrealizable by conventional means. Communism has implicit violence, it assumes that the state must coerce individuals to accomplishing the final goal of society.
Capitalism is just a social institution created around human nature. It assumes freedom, not equality.
