Everybody knows that communistic regimes are very prone to becoming exactly the opposite what they are supposed to stand for, but this doesn't mean that the basic idea of communism is "evil"... its actually very humane.
Why are people still looking as these things the same way they did during the cold war?
Communism is NOT humane. It kills all incentive for hard work, striving to do better, innovation, and reaching goals. That's why communism fails in the end.
Your confusing the concept of communism with a Russian dictatorship. There is no true "communist" state, and never was. But calling the USSR and mainland China communist is a grave misjudgement.
