I believe the Puritans were "socialists" or believed in communal property and communal living, but they weren't "communists" in the strict sense of the word. The term "Communist" includes the atheist viewpoint... The Russians were Communists because the "state" replaced God ("Karl Marx said: religion is the opiate of society...") . I could be wrong...
