Systems of governance are not static. They have to keep on evolving. We have pretty highly educated populations now compared to 50 or 100 years ago.
Raising the scare of communism seems to be a position of anti-change and resorting to the anti improvement TINA factor.
Like capitalism communism was another form of governance, an experiment that did not always work but the motivation as not negative. It was a reaction to feudalism and a effort to find a better alternative.
Currently we need more democracy and accountability as elections are increasingly becoming token gestures while special interests and organized groups indulge in lobbying and regulatory capture everyday.
