In Communism there is no economy, as there is no money and no buying and selling. People are free to work and consume as they wish.
Communism is an economic theory; it is studied by economists, even those who utterly reject it. One still has to know about it.
Under communism, you would find the least private ownership.
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.
Lenin's emergency measures were called "war communism." War communism was later changed with Lenin's New Economic Policy.

Command communism is when your economic system is based on communism but you are forced to experience communism; I.E. Imagine the political environment of North Korea without the ability to buy or sell because the government allocates a certain amount of goods (usually based off of a mathematical matrix) to the people. If you disagree with the concept of communism under this system, you can be jailed, exhiled, executed, etc. However, under regular communism, people are freer to choose to leave the country and/or believe in capitalism or socialism without having the fear of being jailed or executed for those beliefs.
No. Absolutely not. There are countless stories of Americans who started with nothing, coming from poor backgrounds, pursuing their dreams and making it big. Not too much of that going on in communism. Since the communist model discourages (even bans) private property, how can they possibly claim to allow significantly more individual freedom? Communism discourages individual freedom, and prefers a collective "hive" mentality in which its subjects are kept under strict control and kept from attaining wealth.
There is no private land ownership under communism.
Under communism, there would be no social classes. However, one could look at it as having only one class of people.
No countries have or could have a Communist economic system. Communism is a classless stateless society based on production for use, with no money and no economy. Also, it would have to operate at a global level.
