The world has always been a competitive world, survival of the fittest, there's no denying of that.

The natural world perhaps, but once you have a complex society like Britannia or the modern world, the idea of survival of the fittest becomes ludicrious since so much of survival depends on non-inheritable traits and weeding them out becomes difficult to impossible.
In the case of Britannia, the one who becomes the Emperor via the struggles between the various siblings is not automatically going to be the most suited for the governing of a globe-spanning Empire.

That's why true communiusm will never work.

The reason communism doesn't work has nothing to do with equality and lack of conflict, which it had in spades both external and internal, but rather too much government control in production and almost every other aspect of life with far too much devotion to ideology and purging of the old order.
