communist
Adjective form of Communism. Typically used for a person who believes in Communism; A person who belives that the ideal society is stateless, religionless, moneyless and classeless where the means of production (things like farms, shops, factories, roads) are owned by all members of the society, in other words a socialist, anarchist, atheist society. There may be some cases where non Atheists can be communists (such as
Christian communist movement).Like most
political definitions, Communism is vaguely defined. Are members of the Chrisitan communist movement communists even though they believe in god? Was the Soviet Union Communist even though it went as far from Anarchism as can be?What we all agree on however, is that Communists all want to abolish
private ownership of the means of production (which doesn't get us anywhere, because Socialism has the same definition). Therefore Communists are fundamentally opposed to Capitalists and Aristocrats/pro-Feudalism peeps.

A person who believes in a
stateless, moneyless, and
classless society. Communism is the final stage of societal development according to Marx after socialism. Though both are leftists and collectivists,
socialists and communists are rather different.
Socialists advocate for the means of production to be owned by the workers.
Example:
Contrary to popular belief: China and the
DPRK are not
communists. Their state ownership of
the means of production has given communists a bad name.

Example:
Communism only works for
ants, bees and mole rats. Introduce any individuality into the
economic system and it breaks down to form anarchy or
totalitarianism. No communist system has ever worked in practice.

A great idea... On paper.
The communist party is the idea of everything being owned by the entire community and there being no social classes. However, this really doesn't work since no one has anything to work for,
there isn't any type of entertainment medium because everyone has assigned jobs, and a feeling of
hopelessness.

1) (rare) one who strives to attain the ideals of communism (see
cako's spot-on definition)
2) (common) impotent
jibe intended to put down a non-like-minded person. Insult had some impact during the Cold War-era, but so did
Styx.
Example:
1) True communists are idealists who truly believe humans can
transcend selfishness. Then the weed wears off.
2) There is
a 99.5% chance that Rush Limbaugh would call you a communist.
