No. Communism is a way of life characterized by its collectivism [primacy of group over the individual]. What you saw there was a subspecies of right-wing libertarianism. Since libertarianism is individualistic, communism it is not.

"No. Communism is a way of life..."

You fail to rebut my contention that communism makes sense from an atheistic / amoral standpoint, and therefore that euthanasia, which you refer to as, "assisted suicide," makes any more sense, or is any more, "sane." In fact, I would further contend that once one lapses (retreats) to an atheistic world view, one could argue that anything makes sense, because with man as the arbiter of all morality, the individual can justify any action. Conservatism, and indeed Americanism, in principle as articulated in our Declaration of Independence, are structured on moral absolutes, a higher power and inalienable principles which are completely independent of the opinions of a king, tyrant, or the Hawaiian legislature.
