Perfect is the enemy of good, we wan't a system we can change and improve, communism failed because of the great stagnation the leaders in change had no interest in change or improving and the workers underneath them had no means to affect change.
Worker parties offer the optics of democracy that the workers have a say in their work but in reality that didn't happen the workers worked for their boss or starved. Under capitalism you have the same options work or starve but you also get a third option, you can compete against your boss it was ultimately this competition that allowed capitalism to change and improve where communism stagnated.
Does capitalism guarantee success 100% of the time? nope, but it does provide a mechanism to affect change from the bottom up, other systems don't do that.
