There are lots of communists in India. It is perhaps the only country where communists have been elected to power (and out of power) -- thankfully only in two states and not at the centre. When you say "Stallman is a communist" surely you mean in theory: if you are merely talking of evil influence and so on, America's history of supporting tinpot dictatorships all over the world is worse than any communist country's (USSR included). Communism is a theory, your former country had its way of practising it, don't confuse the two issues.
