Answer 2

Communism is often viewed as threatening because it seeks to abolish private property and establish a stateless, classless society through the redistribution of wealth.

Additionally, the historical implementation of communism in countries like the Soviet Union and China resulted in human rights abuses and mass suffering, further reinforcing its threatening reputation.
