CGP Grey refers to dictatorships in that video, not communism specifically. Marx predicted a revolution of labor that would get rid of scarcity and was never realized by the Soviet system. If you read a bit about it you’ll see that the so-called marxists never reached communism, as they kept pumping resources into the government, police and bureaucracy.

Communism. A utopian society without classes, divisions of wealth, exploitation or suffering. Members would provide what they could and receive what they need. The instruments of state, like government bureaucracies, police and military, would become unnecessary and would “wither away”.

Rules for rulers is explicitly about human behavior in heirarchy, not specifically anti communist.
