Sadly, to a lot of people, "communist" means "you don't like cops and capitalism, and you refuse to be nationalistic." If such a person asked you whether you were a communist, then if you didn't have time for a long and potentially frustrating definition, then the clearest way to communicate your politics to them might be to say "yes."

(I'm certainly not claiming that this is a generally useful definition, but words mean what people use them to mean.)
