The people in China that love communism, 800M of them (the poor/half), do not have indoor plumbing or have to ration electricity. Anything is better than going backwards.
Most countries in Africa would love communism as well if it rid them of malaria and put something more than insect infected rice on their plate.
You are correct, most people in a hut living in fear of Ebola, arrest for no reason, or decapitation love communism. I would have loved the Pope 500 years ago too if facing the guillotine.
