i dont believe he would have considered himself a communist but the US would certainly have (since the US was always worried about foreign ideas-ie. Palmer Raids, Sacco and Vanzetti). The government tended to group anarchists, communists, and atheists into one group so you could see why they would be view Lennon as a threat. The song "Imagine" certainly takes some views that would be similar to communists' views. Im not going to write out the lyrics for you. im sure you know them or can find themmm
his belief in no god, no divisons or class,(that these steps would lead to peace, hunger, etc.) would certainly agree with communism
also the song "working class hero"....
