Those are not dictionary definitions.  As far as 'superior beings' goes, USA
worked in conjunction with Germany to develop eugenics programs.  USA's
admiration for Germany and the Nazi party had a lot to do with not getting
involved in WWII until late in the game.  If communism ment 'all being
equal' (which it doesn't), then USA and Nazi Germany would've been
'communists' by trying to promote 'equality' through eugenics (selective
breeding, distilling the gene pool).
