Why do people in the U.S. think communism is so horrible?

"Failure is given by the fact that its a human controlled system. All systems have a probability of failure."
No ship sherlock, that's what people in this thread have been discussing since it started. If you are going to re-define the obvious, I will redefine my arguments in the same language.

Contrary to your fantasy world, democracy and communism are both human controlled systems and therefore are under the effects of both the evil and stupidity of humans. Niether are perfect (how many times do I have to say this?) yet evil and stupidity decrease in correlation to how democratic a country is, not how communist a country is. This is why...

The humans in charge of democracy are the people and the representatives they vote in all are held together by human rights which give people an easy guide to see how to prevent tyrants from getting into power. The representatives are sometimes corrupt, but regardless democracy reduces corruption considerably by putting it in law and propoganda that citizens are permitted to criticise their representatives.

According to marx a "dictatorship of the proletariat" must first be formed to begin the transit to communism who are supposed to represent the proletariat's communist interests. This never happens. The dictatorship of the proletariat is permitted to ignore or kill critics and it isn't long before the proletariats themselves are labelled spies and ignored/killed. The only way to implement communism would be to form a democracy and then prove to the people that communism is an efficient government through rational debate. This way the right to criticise people in positions of power is never affected during the transition, preventing tyranny which would make the transition go backwards through marx's stages from the capitalist stage back to the despotic stage.
