A person who believes in a stateless, moneyless, and classless society. Communism is the final stage of societal development according to Marx after socialism. Though both are leftists and collectivists, socialists and communists are rather different. Socialists advocate for the means of production to be owned by the workers.
Contrary to popular belief: China and the DPRK are not communists. Their state ownership of the means of production has given communists a bad name.

Like democracy, socialism, marxism, and other forms of government, a form where the ruling class claims to give power to the majority (the people, working class, whatever), while instead, devoting it to themselves.
The concept of communism, just like the concept of democracy, would work fine if it was not corrupt, or if it did what it claimed is stood for.

Communism only works for ants, bees and mole rats. Introduce any individuality into the economic system and it breaks down to form anarchy or totalitarianism. No communist system has ever worked in practice.
