tell him his precious communism couldn't last a century.

i believe in the most basic principles of free enterprise and trade as well as the modern definition of what marx termed "capitalism"
i believe greed, selfishness, self interest, etc. IS NORMAL HUMAN NATURE.
any system (EVEN MOST FORMS OF CAPITALISM PRACTICED NOW) that tries to limit/control our self interests are doomed to fail.
and capitalism while not perfect is best.

Communism is an economic system, a way which will allow a society based on common ownership and control of the means of production, i.e rather than a small rich layer of society controlling the wealth and exploiting the workers, the workers would ********ically own the wealth and make decisions.
Further, humans are not hard wired for greed. Like all things in nature, human consciousness and society are always in a state of change. Remember, "conditions determine consciousness". ****, humans only got to where we are today by being social creatures and the hunter/gatherer societies that existed long before were what allowed mankind to survive. On the grand scheme of things, or looking at the long timeline of mankind, the majority of human existence didn't even exist classes, and we lived communally.

You said "capitalism cannot continue forever obviously". That's a definitive, closed statement. You said it, no one else. Back it up.
What you may at most mean is it may very well be different again, in a few decades or centuries. Slightly more acceptable if too broad. Assuming then you must have more insights than most leading futurologists, surmising different why and how roughly, shouldn't be too much to ask.
