There's really only two reasons why someone would hate communism:
- You have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo because you benefit from it (either from a class or race perspective)
- You're really fucking stupid and easily propagandized.
Addendum to 1, you might hate communism because you committed a lot of crimes that you know your victims will get justice for if communists take power.
- You are a misanthrope whose lack of faith in humanity makes you think hierarchies must be maintained lest the plebs ruin everything. Not that this is mutually exclusive at all, ofc.
There is some tragedy in how the crux of anticommunism (in particular for working class anticommunists) is the mindset that it will always be hammers-and-nails; hence the assumption that communists are either cynical, envious tyrants-in-waiting who don't mean a word they say or the gullible, feeble-minded fools who follow them.
