Of course, there's also the fact that conflating Communism with Stalinism is a tad bit disingenuous. Yeah, Communism does certainly allow for certain...unscrupulous people to be at the helm assuming they establish a cult of personality and crush dissent early on like Stalin and the Kim dynasty. But, at its heart, the entire point isn't for one madman to be in charge; the entire point, if you ask me, is that no one person is left behind. No matter who we are or in what kind of society we live, even one in total anarchy, we're all cogs in the societal machine. Communism tries to even the load between all said cogs; as the saying goes, "a burden shared is a burden divided." Of course, there's inherent flaws in that philosophy as it doesn't quite mesh with the more individualistic cultures, especially those in the more advanced, well-to-do nations.
Hell, one could argue our entire tax structure here in the States is Communistic. After all, part of its purpose is to redistribute wealth to sectors that ostensibly need it, like infrastructure maintenance, education, and law enforcement. Its pretty much an established fact that we're rather shit at doing it properly, but that doesn't change its purpose, even if it doesn't entirely keep within the spirit of the thing.
