The difference is when people do communism, they actually follow the recipe (and failing), i.e. central planning, one-party state, state ownership, etc.
But when you read about people complaining about Scrum, it doesn't look like what the Scrum training taught nor the Scrum guide.
(This reminds me of a time when a manager pulled all the teams into a room, then pulled out all the Scrum terminologies and say "now we're going to have a meeting to decide what we want them to mean".)
