Your dots remain unconnected. com·mu·nism (kmy-nzm) n. "A theoretical economic system characterized by the collective ownership of property and by the organization of labor for the common advantage of all members. A system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single, often authoritarian party holds power, claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people." An adequate definition, although it misses the central Communist tenet that the means of production must be held by the state, acting (allegedly) on behalf of "the people" or "the workers". Socialists, graduated tax proponents, estate tax proponents, unions, gun confiscation freaks, etc. are all communists by another name. No amount of quibbling or dissecting of words will change this. Socialists, possibly, defending on how you define the term (it is a very loosely defined term). I don't see how any of the other categories you cite fall necessarily into the definition that you quote.
