Most people erroneously associate "communism" with the regimes of Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong. These were not communist. They were totalitarian and communist only in name. These activists simply recognize that capitalism is not working for everyone, like the factory workers working those 12-hour shifts under awful working conditions getting paid peanuts, and want to give them more representation and make things more fair. On this higher level I completely sympathize with them, though I have no knowledge of the details of what specifically they are advocating.
