No, it never will, even in the future. The idea of an economy and political structure being based on workers is a dead issue.

Now, I think what you meant that in the future we might have some sort of communal state, you are probably right, but that is completely different from what Communism is.

Capitalism never existed. It was a phrase coined by socialists with no reality that improperly defines alternative economic structures. Hence free markets, state corporatism, state communism, mercantilism, etc etc can all be called "capitalist" even though none of them have much if anything in common with one another.
