If you have to choose between a conspiration of communists and jacobinists, and normal people that just disagree with you...

Communists aren't normal people?

Not that the person I replied to was treating them as such.
I'm a socialist myself so I feel sympathy for a communist, even if I don't agree with him.

Of course they are normal people, that's what makes it terrifying. Communism killed hundred of millions of people. And yes, the French communist party supported Stalinism for a long time.

Communism - the utopian ideology - didn't kill hundreds of millions of people, because it has never existed. It has been used several times as a means to reach power, after which the dictator(ships) have chosen to either adopt it to his/their own liking (Stalinism, Marxist-Leninism, Trotskyism, <insert>ism) or practically abolish it as is the case with modern-day China. Fully developed communism is supposed to (alas, probably never will) be 'a stateless, classless and moneyless society, structured upon common ownership of the means of production.' [1]
That's about as far from Stalinism you can get.
