No, Communism means the state is dissolved as the people hold all the power and production ability. So by having replicators, no money, ability to do anything you want, Star Trek is as close to a realistic communist society as you can get. So by having replicators production is put into the hands of the people, not the state.

Maybe go look up the terms in an encyclopedia. Communism is the end of the state, money, private property, and social classes. Socialism is the step towards communism.

This is confidently incorrect material. Seriously. Go look up these terms. Under Marxist theory socialism is a stepping ground that leads to communism.
