A statement about
Could one consider
a. 'He was not a communist.'
a statement about his communism?
I think one might call it 'a statement about his supposed communism', but if his communism was inexistant, the statement couldn't be about 'his communism'.
Many thanks.

I don't understand your problem. We cannot know whether he was really a communist or not; as it stands,the statement is just the writer's opinion.

Thank you very much.
It is indeed, but is it a statement about 'his communism' even though it is saying that such a thing did not exist?
It does not seem logical to me, but maybe it is only me.
Many thanks.
