The true ideals and aims of communism are pure and fair to all involved, unfortunately the greedy and vicious nature of man cannot truly follow communism as the aims would be corrupted. Communism is not robbing form the rich to give to the poor although it does have some similarities.
The basic principle is that surplus items (e.g. Farm produce, Wood etc.) that the current owner will not require (please note that not require means he has no use for, not that it is not a nessecity) can be taken by the government and instead of being wasted can be givensold to the poeple who needs the items as a nessecity. Although selling materials to lower class people seems harsh it means that taxes would be lower and there would be an overall benefit to the people.
The idea of Cominform was invented by Stalin. He was a man who used communism to fuel his own aims, rather than a way to repair an already damaged Soviet UnionRussia. Cominform is what you see in James Bond style films based on Russia, this is what has led many people to believe that communism is evil. There are many people who feel that Cuba is financially and economically crippled due to communism and Fidel Castro, however the real reason for this is the Americans, they imposed an embargo on Cube during the cold war and have refused to lift it unless Cuba renounces Communism. This would be an admissal of weakness by Cuba and Castro knows that to give in to the Americans in such a way would Americanise Cube and would destroy Cuba's independance and its beliefs.
I will admit that Communism can be forceful and take away some of the peoples rights but this is not always a bad thing.

It's more of a "clear-the-air" about Communism though :P
