It is generally a one-party system, although sometimes there are multiple parties, but with one dominant party which the other parties almost invariably support (i.e. the old East Germany).
Political leaders rise up through the bureaucracy; elections offer little or no real choice. Internally the party operates on the principle of democratic centralism, which means that public expressions of dissent from the party line are not allowed.
The economy in a communist state is dominated by state-owned and state-run enterprises, although there is also generally some degree of social or co-operative ownership and of small-scale private ownership.
Contrary to popular belief, communism does not completely operate as a "evil, all-powerful government". A communist government operates well under poverty-stricken countries, providing equal rations of food and property to all. Essentially "take from the rich; give to the poor", a communist nation equalizes the class of all the citizens. Communism was popular during post-World War II times as most of the Asian countries involved struggled to rebuild. Famous examples included China, which became the People's Republic of China.
China was struck by widespread poverty after the invasion by Japan in World War II. Operating under a communist government, it was able to reassure its population, and provide food, water, and shelter to every citizen.
However, in countries such as the United States, communism would not operate well, as most citizens are well above poverty. The United States economy and stature as the world's superpower prevents it from needing a communist government like other nations, and allows it to continue its democratic and free enterprise policies.
The United States despises communist nations (and vice-versa), as both do not understand the governments that best suit the other.
He was supporting communism. He was supposed to help spread it into the area he was supporting and he wanted a buffer against military invasion.
In ideal terms, communism is a system in which there is no private ownership; everyone gets the same amount of award. It was supposed to eliminate social classes and make everyone equal, but instead, some people stopped working due to a lack of it to earn, collapsing the economy.
It was erected to keep other countries from interfering. It was supposed to increase communism.
What leader? According to Marx communism is supposed to be ruled by the Proletariat (the class of the poorest of the working poor), not one man!
They were trying to stop the spread of Communism in that region. The U.S. feared the domino effect. Whereas one country falls to communism and others will follow.

Socialism and communism are similar in the way they are supposed to work - all power being shared equally - and capitalism is similar to socialism in that everybody should ideally get out what they put in proportionally, but communism and capitalism are the exact opposites.
do the work
That the United States intended to stop communism from spreading
Japan does not have a communist government. Never has.
The US was concerned that the USSR would work to spread communism.
No, the collapse of the USSR does not actually prove that communism doesn't work, any more than the failure of Joe's Fish and Chips proves that restaurants don't work. The failure of the Soviet Union and its satellite states is just one example in which a paranoid version of communism didn't work. It may well be that it is possible to do it better. Although I offer no guarantees.
