Sure, if you base your politics in idealism instead of materialism, which isn't a very useful lense for analyzing politics.

Exactly, though I would say there are some ideals that are more realistic than others. I think the whole debate between communism and capitalism is largely a distraction from actual tangible change that can be achieved and sustained.

Yeah, but you don't know what capitalism, communism, idealism, or materialism actually are, so it's not clear what actual tangible change you plan on achieving and sustaining.
