I think anyone with a working knowledge of the various forms of communism (Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism, Titoism, etc.) knows that Lennon wasn't singing about communism. A utopia that shares some of the goals of communism for sure, but that utopia also shares goals with Christianity (beyond the no religion thing, although it could be read as everyone having the same religion), Bhuddism and a few other philosophies.
So, yeah, communism, not really.
