Thats because communism has never been true communism. Hitler, Stalin, claimed it, Stalin on more of the Socialist side for the claim, but both were dictatorships in the end anyway. Nazism and Stalinism. You were indoctrinated and hypnotized into loving your ruler, and you agreed to the decisions made anyway whether it seemed like you had an influence or not.
For Stalin, people working in the 5 year plans weren't as equal as the people who were not. The working class was treated like slaves. And you could probably assume why communism wasn't working for Hitler either. They reference communism as bad mostly because of Hitler and Stalin, but the "communist" systems that were so called to be practiced by them wasn't true communism.
Communism is just given a bad reputation based on the illusion of having those systems being called Communism.
