Clearly not, I'll repeat the excerpt from your source

As a term, communist state is used by Western historians, political scientists, and media to refer to these countries. However, these states do not describe themselves as communist nor do they claim to have achieved communism

Wikipedia called the USSR a "flagship communist state", Wikipedia also explicitly said that even though some in the west use the term "communist state", that those states are not in fact communist. So obviously you cannot hold two related facts in your head simultaneously.
