Both capitalism and communism, in theory, are supposed to spread money around. The former by government force, the second by market action, substitutability of resources, skills, etc. Unfortunately, greed is common to any system, and these folks are parasites on their shareholders.
It likely would be no different under Communism. the same guys who are raking the money out of the capitalist economy wold be raking in benefits out of a socialist one. Connections and sleaze seem to rule the day, just about everywhere.
