I am socialist, and i dont agree that communism is tyranny. What you are actually thinking of is either bolshevism, marxism-leninism, stalinism, maoism or maybe whatever they call that shit they have in north korea. When you say communism=tyranny, you are just saying that "as a libertarian i cant be bothered to actually check up on the ideologies my own sect are opposed".
You must be a scholar on philosophy then, if you have read all the philosophic works post Mill and found it lacking. Because i know that not even you could be so stupid to claim that and not be able to back it up.
Human rights are great. But its naive to think that just because we fulfill a arbitrary set of rules, there will be no oppresion, no exploitation and no tyrrany. If you dont consider the economic facts of a society you will never change society in any progressive way.
And just for the record, libertarianism fails on its own merits, its got nothing to do with marxism or anything else.
