Communism is an inherently anti-democratic form of government; communists have been responsible for the murder of millions of people since the early days of the Soviet Union
if someone posted threads defending fascism, I'm sure those would be locked and the person TSed within minutes so why allow posts defending communism?
allowing these posts only serves to give those who think DU is already some leftwing cesspool even more ammunition to attack the site
If someone is having a purely hypothetical discussion about some utopian pipe-dream version of communism, then that might be different from arguing in favor of Stalinist totalitarianism.

although allowing communists to post their crap on here only serves to give people more ammo to use against DU
it's a good thing that someone gave me my star because I certainly wouldn't donate to a site that allow the promotion of a system that has been responsible for the murders of millions of people over the years
anyone promoting communism is serving as an apologist for these murderous regimes
