Its now clear that Communism didn't die when the Berlin Wall came down, its alive and well in the western world. Its become the hidden shadow ideology behind what we call liberalism (or the misnamed "progressivism") in the US and social democracy in many other countries.
Unlike Marxism-Leninism and Soviet style Communism however, western Communism/ liberalism's version of the "Proletariat" vs. the "Bourgoisie" is demographic group rather than economic class based. Its based on a false scenario that certain groups are victimized by another smaller collection of groups and that a massive, total and revolutionary transformation of society in every way is needed to rectify this [imaginary] situation.
This is the ideology we've been living under since at least the late 1960s and its now in its final stages of constructing its shadow dictatorship. For society's ruling elites, its simply the latest means for them to consolidate their power and manipulate the masses by pitting them against each other.
