That's closer to anarchism then communism. Communism, as it's generally developed, has a central state authority.

Personally, I see the existence of a state and individual liberties as always under tension. You can't have a state without some infringement on individual expressions. But some restriction on individual expression is necessary for a functioning society. The question is what infringements and under what circumstances are acceptable.

Communism is an economic framework, not a political one.

Economics is political. Always has been.

Sorry, but it's the inverse. Politics is economical.
