I don't know if Lennon was a communist, I doubt it, though the song seems to indicate he did have some communist ideals.
He does say imagine there is no countries or things to die for, which indicate there being no government though, if anything it was more anarchistic then anything.
I think sometimes people try to put too much meaning into lyrics of songs though,
why does it have to be him declaring his ideals..
like piggy said, it was just a hippie day dreaming.
Communists aren't the only ones who had those ideas.
