Btw the Soviet union was never true communism. Stalin became a dictator and has warped the meaning of communism in a lot of people's minds and now people think it's atomatically a bad thing. He became power hungry but continued to use the guise of 'communism'.
Another reason why communism had gotten such a bad rap was because of it's official rejection of religion, which didn't sit well with many Americans who considered themselves to be a religious people. But Communists in El Salvador had actually incorporated Christianity into their philosophy, particularly with the call of both Christ and Marx to embrace the poor. Then there was the simple fact that capitalists realized that communism threatened their place in the sun, and so used their positions in society to make Communism look as evil as possible.
Actually in their faq, they state that they are not against religion http://www.cpusa.org/faq/
Well, good for them!! ! (No, I'm not being sarcastic, I am being quite sincere.)
