Note
The regular plural carries every meaning of the singular, so context must show which communists are meant. Capitalized, Communists most naturally means members of a formal party. Lowercase, the word covers advocates of common ownership generally, and using the capital for that broader group is sometimes frowned on. A nonstandard use stretches the word to any subversive radical. The adjective takes no -s: communist leaders, never communists leaders.
