Marx acknowledged that capitalism has succeeded in creating more productive power than any other economic system before it. In "The Communist Manifesto", Marx states: : "The bourgeoisie, during its rule of scarcely one hundred years, has created more massive and more colossal productive forces than have all preceding generations together. Subjection of Nature's forces to man, machinery, application of chemistry to industry and agriculture, steam navigation, railways, electric telegraphs, clearing of whole continents for cultivation, canalization of rivers, whole populations conjured out of the ground-what earlier earlier century had even a presentiment that such productive forces slumbered in the lap of social labor."

Is competition good or bad for consumers?
It depends. Two political philosophers, Adam Smith and Karl Marx, had differing opinions on this matter. Adam Smith was the founder of capitalism and believed in what he called "the Invisible Hand". This meant that competition would eventually result in innovation as one group tried to beat the other and would ultimately further society's interests. Karl Marx is the father of communism and believed that competition, and eventually capitalism, would lead to the exploitation of the working class. Not to mention it causes stress and "arms races" where people would be too obsessed with victory or beating the other person at something. Look up the "tragedy of the commons" from economics.
What was Joseph Stalin's inspiration for communism?
Stalin's father focused and intensified Stalin's Marxist revolutionary beliefs but not directly. His father had been a cobbler whose business went bad and went to work for a local shoe factory. This is classic Marxian theory where the individual artisan becomes a simple factory worker because of capitalism. In an article Stalin wrote decrying capitalism, he used as an example a successful cobbler who was put out business by the competition of a local shoe factory. The cobbler then went to work in the very factory that had put him out of business. Stalin points out that that cobbler now had aspects of a proletarian. The cobbler is obviously his father. Stalin used him to show the evils of capitalism. Stalin felt his father had been put out of business not by any lack of skill, but because of the forces of capitalism. Stalin's father became a drunk who neglected his family obligations eventually abandoning them. Stalin became a dedicated Marxist early in life, partly because he saw that what had happened to his father was exactly what Karl Marx had said capitalism would do.
How have events challenged that view of Karl Marxs?
Present day socialists and communists are not regarded as successful. Partly because the steps to the perfect economy are impossible to attain. In otehr words, the last step in attaining a socialist economy is to become a communist economy, which means the military who trying to gain control of the economy would need to give up power. Currently, no governments have done that. Russia and China are two examples. They are not regarded as good places to live. This gives a bad rep to the term socialist.

Why is capitalism considered a bad thing by communist?
Communists are somewhat Lockean in their idea of production at least Marx was. They believe that mixing your labor with something makes it yours in a sense. However capitalists are those that make money off of others' labor. They merely own the means of production and take their living from the surplus value of the labor they hire. This is a very crude answer to your question, but I hope it points you in the right direction as to why communists have moral issues with capitalism.
Who developed the idea of communism?
Karl Marx was the first philosopher to develop the idea thoroughly, even though communism, as a concept, had existed since ancient times. Marx called one of his four epochs of history Asiatic.
