I've only met one person who's called themselves a communist who didn't quite know what it meant. The way they'd phrase it was "I'm the most liberal person I know. I'm more liberal than communists." But when he'd talk about policies he wanted they were very standard libertarian things, actually.
There are also Caleb Maupin and that Haz guy. Both claim to be Marxist-Leninist and both are more like weird American chauvinists. Ask them to describe what capitalism is and they'll give you an antisemitic conspiracy theory
Maupin and Haz are just fringe weirdos who were able to amplify themselves via the Internet and honestly probably some help from the feds. They are basically the same LaRouche in my book. They would be forced out any legitimate ML circle very quickly.
