To be honest, real communism as imagined and as planned by Marx is a very good system, much more humane than the west. Just because the Western media brainwashed people into thinking communism is the devil's work doesnt mean it's true. However, none of the so called communist countries were really communist, as imagined by Marx. They were socialist countries, that didnt fully comply with Marx' theories and rules, shall we call them.
So yes, as an idea and as intended by Marxist sociologists, I do support communism and see it as a better option than the current capitalsit system.
However, because of the very nature of man to strive for personal achievements and materialistic accumulation real communism will never be able to exist. And as bad as people think of, say Fidel Castro, let me ask you which country has the best healthcare and education system in Central and South America?
Cuba does.
