You seem to be confused about what communism is. Communists think that everyone should be equal and that noone should be allowed to have billions of dollars on their bank account when other people can't even afford food to eat or a place to sleep. The terrible r�gime in the Soviet Union had very little to do with communism. Unfortunately almost everybody in America think about death, violence and terror when they hear the word communism. It's actually a lot like the whole hackers vs crackers thing: Crackers call themselves hackers, making everybody associate "hacking" with "destroying computers", although most real hackers would never dream of destroying anyones computers. The Soviet Union called themselves communists, making everybody associate "communism" with "killing people", although most real communists would never dream of killing anybody.
