This is more of an opinionated question. Communism is basically government control of everything. No personal ownership, no one is better than another, economically-wise. There is no free-market, and you cannot make a profit. Everyone lives to help each other, and the government overlooks the whole process. Communism would be great, that is, if the government could not be corrupted. And it's because of this small but strong reason that people hate communism, and consider it to be a threat. Of course, other reasons are because of what some may call the 'greed' of people, to make a profit, to be rewarded for their hard work, and let others perish for not working hard enough.
