What they mean when they say they dislike communism is that they dislike their ineptitude, inability, incapacity and incompetence.
The problem is that, if you want to build a non-capitalist society on a capitalist planet, that society necessarily has to be an autarchy. Because if you try and build a non-capitalist society or even just a socialist society with a monetary system on a capitalist planet and allow trade with capitalist countries, you'll necessarily collapse and turn capitalist too. Either your currency will be cheaper than those of other capitalist countries and they'll come buy up all of your real wealth (if you don't restrict foreign ownership of property inside your borders or exports) and your population will constantly want to flee to the countries with stronger currencies where they can work fewer hours and/or easier jobs and live as well or better, on stuff imported from countries with weaker currencies such as yours.
Alternatively, your currency could be more expensive than those of industrialised capitalist countries and you'll deindustrialise in favour of importing from them. Of course, this means that, inevitably and eventually, your currency will collapse in value, after sufficient decades of deindustrialisation. Because your reliance on imports rather than domestic production hollowed out your industry and made you technologically stagnate or regress and you also lost generational technical knowledge so you couldn't export high technology or industrial goods to sustain/maintain/keep your currency valuable to foreign industrialised capitalist societies to where you could continue to afford importing from them. And your military capability also rotted away, along with your industry and technological capabilities. Or you rely on importing arms for your military. And you can no longer use force or the threat thereof to keep your currency more valuable to afford to continue importing that which you no longer produce nor can produce.
