Earth to "Not a Penny," there are many communist parties, including the Parti Communist du Canada/Communist Party of Canada (PCC/PCP) , the Parti Communist Français (PCC), the Italian Communist Party, the Italian Communist Party/Partito Comunista Italiano, PCI as well as many others. While the Russian communists killed many people--Russia has had a notoriously violent history and still does (see Putin), none of the parties mentioned above have killed anyone.  Different societies have different histories and therefore different relationships with political parties. You'll notice though that unlike communist parties in places like Canada, France and Italy, no fascist party actually refers to itself with the word "fascist" due to its relationship to the murder of 6 million Jews in the Holocaust. The fascist also murdered Americans.  Today's fascists don't have the gall for that so they use euphemisms like in France, the National Front. Your understanding of world politics is hackneyed.
