Communism doesn't evoke too much fear in me because it has been mostly defeated, but nazism has been even more thoroughly defeated and yet any support for Nazis gets a negative reaction, and rightfully so. Communists killed more people then the Nazis did, but to be fair they had more opportunity as they ruled more people for more years.

Secondly, if there is support for communism on the far left of the Dems, and frankly, I don't know if that's true, that support is not for the kind of gov't that the USSR had but rather the communism as first promoted by Marx.

Which is like supporting Nazism without the death camps and aggressive wars. It still should be condemned. Also you still get support for more than abstract Marxism, but for communist regimes like Castro's. Fortunately such support is dwindling even among the left, but when I was a child there was support for communist regimes in places like North Vietnam and China.
