He speaks of Communism as an ideology with great intellectual appeal while trying to distant it from its "criminal" cousin, Islamism. He ignores the similar tactics of each, threats and violence, as he elevates Communism while insisting they are different. He ignores that both are exclusionary, not allowing competing parties or ideas. More Carter era baloney.
We are in agreement on that!
A Communist is a Socialist with a gun who is willing to use the gun to enforce his point of view.
