How come Americans think communism is evil when they have never experienced it at all?

So yes, I'd argue they wouldn't hate it had they lived under it. Of the former socialist states, only Poland is truly heavily anti-communist, and it's more anti-Russian than it is anti-communist really. I love a quote from someone I know who lived in the USSR; "I, and my family, find it funny when people tell us how bad our lives were", he was of course speaking of the media telling him the USSR sucked and what not.

The main reason that America viewed communism as a threat is because it eliminates the free market. Additionally, communist governments are usually violent and oppressive.
Why did people run from communism?
Can people run from an ideal? But I think you meant 'Why did people fear communism?' or 'why were people suspicious of communism?' or 'why were people averse to Communism?' In the European and Asian concept- Communism equaled oppression, suppression and terror. In USSR, under Stalin Communism reached a new horror as millions were killed under his reign. Freedom died in the regime. Persecution and executions were high. In Cambodia, Communism led to a genocide where at least 10% of the population was murdered. In China, Communism equalled terror, suppression and poverty as well as persecution. (Americas) Cuba, persecution and limitation of freedom. There are many more examples of have Communism was warped into a dictatorship where horror, terror and injustice reigned supreme. Now why did Americans fear Communism? Americans were devoted to capitolism, the concept of individualism and had a strong economic status. Communism threatened to bring all of that down. Communism has never been benign. It has always led to large cases of injustices. Communism as a concept is an utopia belief, where all people are equal. A very beautiful concept but in reality it has never and will most likely never be achieved as it it is suppose to be like. The closest thing there is is social democratic societies.
