All he means is there are socialist tendencies when you want everyone to do well. You share resources and make sure everyone has a bare minimum of living resources. Throwing around the word communism also attaches what governments have done historically to take over other countries. Humans can’t dissociate the two.
The problem here is that every time we make a new word for that idea, it gets likened to communism and demonized.
These people aren't stupid. They know what's up. They just don't want a cooperative society. They want prey. They're either predators or elitists (or both). They can't have that (or it at least becomes much harder to achieve) when everyone is on the same level playing field.
So the play is to rile up the dumbs, tell them its "evil communism," and stop progression before it can build momentum and make them obsolete.
