Communism is an idealogy and it is not one that demands that military force be used to overthrow capitalist markets. It's the same distinction you have to make with Islam and terrorists. One is an idealogy, the other is a group of individuals who carry out actions in the name of that idealogy. The idealogies don't always support the actions that some individuals perform.
