It's easier to say "doped up" than to confront the fact that many intelligent, rational people actually think Communism is a pretty good idea. They're probably all just crazy druggies.
I actually hear the song from a slightly different place--not merely the destruction of personal property or the destruction of religion, but the destruction of all "knowledge", a utopian vision of a world where all our sacred cows are slain, our notions of each other and ourselves are thrown out, and the world, like the man says, can live as one in a space of innocent exploration and invention. It's a beautiful vision.
