According to the World Bank the global rate of "extreme poverty" (defined as people living on less than $1.90 per day) was cut in half from 1990 to 2010 - largely driven by the spread of free market capitalism. Clearly Capitalism produces wealth inequality which is an ongoing problem but your average person today lives longer and in more comfort with more opportunities than at any other point in human history and is not because of communism.

Seems to me like every geographic location has their own decades where capitalism has actually reduced poverty very quickly and efficiently.

Like in the west we've had a quickly growing middle class and fast improving quality of life indexes in the post war era. With little progress in the last few decades or before the wars. 

The 1990-now timeline saw a big reduction in poverty in asia; which really shows in the global graphs due to their massive population. Next in line is Africa.

And i think after that marked reduction in poverty there should probably be something else that follows. I'm not entirely sure what but it's at least not something similar to the maoism and stalinism that people associate with communism.
