"Today communism seems like a failed political ideology, a cute thing that hippies like along with pot and drum circles."

That's because today it's basically illegal to be liberal, so the only openly liberal folks left are super fringy. The reason why communism seems this way today has less to do with the fact that the US triumphed over communism, and more with the fact that the US triumphed over freedom.
