Not quite. If it is in place of the welfare state, then not at all. Libertarian economist Milton Friedman talked about a minimum income and even though his idea was different than say Andrew Yang, he believed it should be the good program a government should support. I think it was called a negative income tax. Communism is an economic system that is classless, moneyless, and has public ownership.
