Yes. A communist signifies your political allegiances, while being a landlord or business owner signifies your class. They’re mutually exclusive. If you are both, then it means you are arguing against your class interests and you are fighting for a state that doesn’t cater to your class interests nor represent you.
Similarly, being a communist doesn’t automatically make you working class, because class is defined by your relation to the method of production.
