You should differentiate between communism and the USSR. Communism is an
idealogy and it is not one that demands that military force be used to
overthrow capitalist markets.

It's the same distinction you have to make with Islam and terrorists. One
is an idealogy, the other is a group of individuals who carry out actions
in the name of that idealogy.

The idealogies don't always support the actions that some individuals
perform.
