I saw in some tv shows that Americans hates communism. They even call them commie. But I didn't understand that why do they? I am not an American but I'd love to understand the context.

In communism it's the other way round.
With sarcasm:
''Americans'' don't hate communism. To do so, they'd need to understand what it is.
It's more like 'Pavlov's Dogs' - you receive a trigger signal, and you begin to slobber.
The trigger signals have been brainwashed into them since decades, so that it's easier for their manipulating leaders to keep them where they are meant to be.
Also: to have an 'outside' threat makes the masses sufficiently scared to not question what is happening 'inside'.
For the average ''American'' it is difficult to imagine alternative social versions because their society is very self centered - and what THEY call: patriotic.
Since they invented their country, the general modus is/was to kill/shoot/destroy everything they can't comprehend, so that what's left is known - and thus can be handled in some way.
You see this happening since the disappearance of the Soviet Union: the 'threat' was gone, but the aggression is still there. So they began to butcher each other. And also attempted to create alternative new outside threats such as Islam or 'terrorists'.
What you (or we) perceive as hate is rather a social condition of disorientation and misinformation.
There a widely known example of political systems as illustrated by the use of two cows:
SOCIALISM
You have 2 cows.
You give one to your neighbour
COMMUNISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and gives you some milk
FASCISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and sells you some milk
NAZISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and shoots you
BUREAUCRATISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then
throws the milk away
TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM
You have two cows.
You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies, and the economy
grows.
You sell them and retire on the income
All you have to do is look at real world communism and compare it to real world capitalism. The difference is extreme, with capitalism being obviously far superior.
Communism takes away people's freedom. It can't exist without doing that.
The short story:
After joining forces and defeating the Nazis in WW2, the USA and the Sovjet Union (Todays Russia many other states in east Europe and asia) didn't get along too well.
Both built nuclear weapon silos and other military bases in close proximity to one another, and kept upgrading their military arsenal in an arms race. Each saw the need to overpower the other side, ending in a standoff where any action would have cause hundreds of nuclear bombs being launched on both the US and the sovjet union.
During this time the US painted the picture of the "bad communists" and this hatred towards russia and communism still persists.
You can somewhat compare it to whats done in todays time with the middle eastern and the islamic people and terrorism. But much worse.
What is communism amd why it's bad? I dont know I just watch some American movies there I found out Americans don't like communist. But I don't know what a communist is
The results of this are interestingly just anarchy, followed by a growing police state rather than meaningful socialist reforms.
It's basically just a case of the pigs replacing the farmer.
Americans like to support and use communists, in much the same way as capitalism likes to use slave labour.
communism arose in russia because people fought back against exploitation, they wanted a fairer society. The problem is employers and politicians want to exploit the masses. What better way to keep people in place than demonized communism.
An extreme example of this would be ADFSDF1996. Nearly every question he asks revolves around anti communist fear mongering. I swear the guy lives in 1950 and thinks communism is a serious threat even though there's only 5 communist countries in the world compared to over a dozen in 1950.
Ohk! I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.
That's the reason Americans hate Russia?
I dont know. The person below who said other countries were destroyed by it was also correct.
