Interesting side-point there. I've heard the argument from libertarians that communism is evil because then you don't own your body, the collective does. I've always found that to be just a strange argument to put forth (logic of the conclusions aside) and if the situation arises, then there are obviously much larger and more fundamental issues to deal with. Like, that issue of what you can or cannot do with your body in a society is one that all societies have and have always had, regardless of the 'system' in use. It's not logic that applies there, it is humans acting like humans (typically as dumb asshats), so trying to ham-horn in property laws to define communism as evil is silly. Dumb humans are the root cause.
