And the analysis is flawed. Greed of monetary aspects are found in every form of economic system. Greed of power aspects are found in every form of government and economic system.
If monetary greed were simply Capitalistic, then why are Putin and his Oligarchs so greedy? They were raised in a Communist economy, yet are more greedy than most capitalists.

My exact point. Poverty and bribery are not exclusive to the Soviet Union. They are found everywhere in every political and economic system. They are the result of human greed.
This is the main flaw in Marx and Engels theory. Greed is a common thread to all humans, irregardless of background.

Yes, so does England. They are a constitutional monarchy, yet operate more as a republic.
In Sweden, like England, the King/ Queen have little to no real power. The elected officials run the countries.
Hundreds of years ago, these monarchs had power over their people. Now, they are merely figure heads.
King Charles of England does nothing but make appearances. Essentially the same in Sweden.
