Communism is the farthest thing from liberalism, short of Nazism and Facism maybe. Liberalism is about the freedom of a person to do all he wants (almost anarchy) and pursue his dreams, while Communis limits the indvidual incredibly, and doesn't lethim do... well, nothing basically. Since money is the key to most things, a person cannot hope to become greater, wealthier, healthier, etc. He will remain as he is, where the goverment makes all the decisions for him. That's the anti-thesis for Liberalism.
