Oh boy. Communism was ORIGINALLY only an economic system. Marxism, the original communism, is elimination of wage labor and capitalism in favour of a non-statist gift economy. The term has evolved since then. It now has more than 3 meanings. One of those meanings:
Quote:
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.
Isn't that communism?
A political implementation of communist econemy and communist governmental organization is communism. One can plan a government around the ideals of communism, in which case the economic system plays a huge part in politics. Does capitolism play any role in American politics?

If you're going to speak down to someone, be sure your right first.
