Communism has absolutely nothing to do with human rights issues. Rather, such issues occur because of the largely ignorant population - people who let dodgy proceedings like ACTA (with their 'Guilt Upon Accusation' laws) go ahead.
Why are countries like China turning slowly towards Capitalism, if Communism solves every little problem out there?

One of the reasons that totalitarian ideologies run so rampant and so viral on the Internet is that people attempting to make a moral judgement on them are instantly accused of bias or an attempt to suppress free speech, essentially accused of the same thing they've identified.

... and says "I'll find likeminded comrades and together we will perfect ourselves and become a superior race" are *already* problems, and *already* proto-fascists because they have already discarded common sense, field data, and criticism, in favour of what some say is an eschatological technology -- a technology that is really more like a religion. Who would be able to talk sense to them once they are ecstatic? It really is rather like the Rapture, in which they imagine that some will be swept up because they are righteous
