I don't think people are that open to communism. Rather, they are open to that utopia the communism-by-the-book is trying to sell. In the end this nuance is irrelevant because all the real-world communisms we ever had are (and were) rather dystopian, yet somehow still managing to sell themselves to the utopists. Maybe because people believe what they want to believe?
