You can tell that you're a Communist by the obvious clinical signs: an overwhelming urge to wait ten years just to drive some cr@ppy sub-compact piece of garbage, a desire to wear ill-fitting, boxy suits, and the inexplicable need to call your friends and colleages "comrade".

Do you have a map of the Ukraine as a birthmark on our forehead?
Do you have an overwhelming urge to take over nearby countries?
Do you want to be in a small group of people that make the laws for everyone and you and your group live high on the hog?
If you answered NO to any of these questions you are not a communist.
You may however be from California.
edit for the most part, we are making fun of communism, not you. One poster left some good links for research.
Check em out.

Ahhh, you Americans....you think of Hilary Clinton as left wing...you guys crack me up.
Communist is a pretty wooly term anyway. Read up on Marxism and Stalinism. Also try reading Das Kapital by Marx and Engels and Animal Farm by George Orwell.
To be honest there are virtually no true communists in the world today as the philosophy (while nice on paper) is virtually impossible to implement as those in charge always end up being less egalitarian than the philosophy demands. I suspect that you are a socialist but not quite as left wing as a true communist.

You won't mind the government owning your land, telling you where you will live, what career you will chose, or what military branch you serve in (and many times not get paid), you will never have to worry about world events, you won't know about them unless they make your country look better. You will not care if you work hard or not because you will make the same amount no matter what. You won't have to worry about being a community activist because that can and probably will get you killed or put in jail. If you have two children who are both girls, you will need to pick the best of the two, because only one is allowed.

Do you get EXCITED when Sean Hannity squints in your direction? Do you FREAK OUT, with absolute glee, when Limbaugh's show comes on the radio?
If you answered "NO" to either question, then you are a Communist.

Is this a serious, sober question? Are you really saying that you are so out of touch with your own ideas and beliefs that you have to rely on someone else to tell you what you either are or are not?

Head to the left as far as you can go and when you get there keep looking the direction you are going. You can't miss it. The other way just leads to fascism.

If you find yourself wanting to listen to Hillary Clinton,
"Government for the common good"

You want to share all of your assets with others, and expect the same in return.
Go live in a Kibbutz and see what real communism, or communal living is all about.

Do some research and find out for yourself. You are obviously online, put the time to good use.
