Hm, in the USSR it had been banned by the state, like completely. Just reading it could get you in severe trouble. In the USA basically it's been banned by a few school districts for use in schools, which is messed up for sure, but wouldn't get anyone into a Gulag.

However, I get how a communist will find the book anti-communist, but an anti-communist reading it as pro-communist, that's a special kind of crazy.
Makes a great excuse though. Especially since most people have never read it, many won't ever read it, and lots of people are proud of the fact they don't read books at all.
