I feel if you assume the good will which a communist society would need to flourish, a capitalist society would also be egalitarian under similar conditions.
Capitalism encourages and even requires antagonism, so even if people started as good, it is difficult to maintain that in the population over generations. In communism, the reward for being greedy or lazy is insignificant.
I wouldn’t go so far as to call myself a communist, but I would say that I’m cynical of capitalism.

Capitalism is inherently anti-egalitarian in the same way feudalism is.
