I think, perhaps, that you need to find another word to fit what you are describing, to save confusion.

It seems insufficient to label anybody who espouses left-wing, socialist ideas as communist; it is inaccurate and, dare I say, could be considered lazy. Communist is a definite, absolute term that relates to the poltical doctrine of Marl Marx and the Communist Manifesto, published in 1848. This is very precise and hardly describes the people you ascribe it to.

Hope you don't mind me saying.
