It would decrease crime because there would be less to steal due to everyone having the same things. didn't say there was never violence in capitalism, i'm saying that communism requires violence or the threat of violence to function properly and is therefore bad.

Not a fair thing to say. In the well-documented communist societies (USSR, China) (which aren't even really communist, if you want to talk semantics) that is true, but in America alone there were countless communist (for lack of a better word) communes during the 70s, which didn't fail because of violence, but outside forces not respecting them or recognizing their legitimacy.
