It's not communism, nobody actually knows what communism is. Working in the private sector, earning a salary, and then giving some of your salary to the government in exchange for some services is not communism.

Communism is more radical than that, meaning cut out the middle man - no private sector at all. The government, or more accurately the people, own the economy collectively. Or that's the idea, implementation varies especially when you sprinkle in dictatorship.
