Well, yes of course, but that’s how they wrote the song. According to McCartney “I just liked the idea of Georgia girls and talking about places like the Ukraine as if they were California, you know? It was also hands across the water, which I’m still conscious of. ‘Cause they like us out there [in Soviet Russia], even though the bosses in the Kremlin may not.”
I suggest you listen to this youtube video of the song, with lyrics. I don’t think you’ll wind up thinking it’s communist propaganda:
