Were these prominent people commies?

Were John Locke, William Penn, Francois "laissez faire" Quesnay, Adam Smith, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Tom Paine, Mirabeau, Anne Robert Turgot, Mark Twain, Herbert Spencer, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Frank Chodorov, Albert Jay Nock, Milton Friedman, James Buchanan, Paul Samuelson, William F. Buckley, LP founder David Nolan, LP News founder Karl Hess and first LP Presidential nominee John Hospers, all "land commies"?

So, then the greatest anti-communist philosophers of all time are land commies? Winston Churchill http://savingcommunities.org/docs/churchill.winston/landandincometaxes.html

Was the Articles of Confederation written by "land commies"?

"All charges of war, and all other expenses that shall be incurred for the common defense or general welfare, and allowed by the United States in Congress assembled, shall be defrayed out of a common treasury, which shall be supplied by the several States in proportion to the value of all land within each State, granted or surveyed for any person, as such land and the buildings and improvements thereon shall be estimated according to such mode as the United States in Congress assembled, shall from time to time direct and appoint." http://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/artconf.asp#art8

Why were Communists against Henry George

Also, why did the actual communists vociferously attack Henry George for opposing the nationalization of land and merely taxing the market determined rents?
