1.) The fact that there are giant eyes everywhere indicates communism due to the fact that under communism, the government oversees everything. It's a play on words. Under communism, the government watches and tells business what to do, represented by the eyes.
2.) It is a negative view, not only due to the dreary, depressing setting the picture is in (it has a mostly grey and black color scheme) but also due to the fact that there are giant, prying eyes on the walls. the artist represents how communism oversees people's lives through the use of huge, creepy eyes, which carry a negative connotation.
3.) It is a "communist's utopia" only for the higher-up communists, since they are powerful and get to look in and decide what people should do. It is not a utopia for common people, like the man in the painting, due to the fact that they have no say in what they do.
