It is not the deep state, it is the establishment and the politicians who are part of it which want the country to continue going through status quo. Republican party used to belong to the establishment but Donald Trump has a deviation of that trend, leading to most Republican politicians to hate the establishment as much as the common people do. Worth pointing out how most of democrats in Washington are still part of the establishment.
Though, it is silly to talk about communism when the Washington stablishment is completely pro-capitalism and has the backing of big business and companies worth billions of dollars in market capitalization. Companies and business backing communism? It does not make sense to me.

What Trump really would love to do is destroying establishment to establish himself as the new pattern of politics within the United States in years to come, but this is not a battle between communists and capitalists, this is a political battle between capitalist in a global view of business and capitalists who embrace national isolation.
