Yes, He very-likely was. I can tell you have 0 education in history.

Hitler wasn't communist after 1918, but before that, there is very strong evidence that he was a communist sympathizer. He was a vocal supporter of the Bavarian Soviet Republic, which was founded by communists and anarchists. He was also a fan and supporter of Kurt Eisner, who was a very powerful communist. There is a photo from Eisner's funeral where there is a man wearing the red socialist armband. Most historians agree that that man is Hitler.

Judge said in that post that as a young man, Hitler was a communist. It's slightly an overstatement, but is most-likely true. You really need to get off the forum and crack open a book.

Bavarian Soviet Republic:

“ Hitler's role

Adolf Hitler was present in the Munich area at the time of the Bavarian Soviet Republic as part of the 16th Bavarian Reserve Infantry Regiment.[49] He had been appointed a deputy battalion representative (deputy Vertrauensmann) for his army regiment on April 3 – before the soviet period – a position that was created by the German Army High Command; part of the duties of the role were education and propaganda.[50][51][52] Although authors such as Ian Kershaw[53] and others claim that Hitler held the role as early as February, it contradicts evidence put forth by Othmar Plöckinger in his book Unter Soldaten und Agitatoren ("Among Soldiers and Agitators").[54] The idea that Hitler attended Eisner’s funeral and supported the Soviet Bavarian Republic originate with German journalist and documentarian Guido Knopp.[55] (In 2004, a group of international historians warned that documentaries like the ones produced by Knopp could reduce important historic facts to mere infotainment.[56])
Hitler's unit and regiment declared themselves neutral and refused to join the Bavarian Red Army (an act of passive resistance). They did not give their allegiance to the new regime nor were they under its control. Author Sjoerd de Boer notes that there is no evidence of Hitler having aided the Soviet Republic personally, despite the claim of some authors. In fact, information originating from Hitler's barracks assisted the advancing Freikorps units in capturing the city.[57] After the fighting ended, Hitler was part of a committee that prosecuted soldiers for aiding the soviet revolt. Hitler was next employed by the occupying ‘"White" forces in the information bureau led by Captain Karl Mayr of Reichswehr Gruppen Kommando 4, which was responsible for countering soviet activity. Mayr had likely been impressed by Hitler’s role on the prosecuting committee, making it extremely unlikely that he would have brought him on had he been involved with the soviet forces.[58] In order to prevent the troops in his barracks from joining the Red Army in 1919, Hitler was recorded as saying “we are no Revolutionary Guard” for Jews (whom he called vagrants).[59]
Certain authors have argued that Hitler was in attendance at Kurt Eisner’s funeral.[60][61] A separate photo and video have been used as evidence that he was: in a photograph, a man purported to be Hitler (based on physical appearance) is shown observing a memorial procession from the side while Russian prisoners of war carry a portrait of Eisner. In the footage of Eisner's funeral, another man (actually participating) is claimed to be Hitler.[61] Historians debate about the authenticity of the claim, especially with regard to the graininess of the footage. Thomas Weber believes that Hitler did attend but concluded that it was impossible to know for sure; other historians dismiss the claim outright.[62][63] Representatives of Hitler’s unit were ordered to attend a memorial procession for Eisner, but that was on 3 April 1919, separate from the funeral in February.[54] As of May 1919 Hitler was an informant for the Reichswehr.[64] Author Peter den Hartog has concluded Hitler’s attendance at Eisner's funeral can safely be considered a myth.[57]”
