No, you cannot separate the basic idea from the people it was intended to influence. Communism attempts to deal with human nature. Human nature is basically selfish. Therefore any political theory that seeks to deal with that must acknowledge the need for change by force. So we have a political theory that calls for peace, harmony and equality that cannot possibly work without strife, oppression and an overseeing party elite to ensure it stays that way.
Communism is an absurdity that belongs in history. Even the Chinese have abandoned it, albeit very subtly.
