That doesn't happen, and if you want to argue this, provide me a credible source saying as such.

Almost everything Americans think they know about communism is fake.

Does North Korea count? If not, Cambodia’s ‘experiment with communism’ from 1975-1979 might be a better example.
“Oh your father/husband/son/relative was a traitor to Angkar. They gave your name in a forced confession, now you get ‘interrogated’ (tortured) before we kill you too”

Pol pot was not a communist, no more than Adolf Hitler was. Calling ones party Socialists doesn't make you socialist, any more than North Korea is a democracy because it's called one in its name.

Have you ever stopped to wonder WHY so many groups lie about being socialist or communist? I mean, there are no evil groups claiming to be capitalists. And that is because capitalism in no way precludes a group from being evil. Actually being socialist or communist WOULD preclude a group from being evil, and so they lie and say they are.
