but if you raise them to believe communism is an evil system and teach them the "american dream" you will have a capitalist society

so then remind me again why the Soviet Union collapsed?

Remind me again why Cuba is such an abject failure, they arn't exposed to capitalism AT ALL. (have you ever heard of an American dying in raft trying to escape evil capitalism, to get to communist Cuba? i havn't)

Remind me again why the people of North Korea are starving to death...

You cannot be serious.
