No, they are not ideologically communist. A ruling party is by definition not communist. They are diometrically opposed.
Even having an identifiable "owning class", let alone anything close to a "ruling class" is also definitionally not communist.
Being ideologically communist simply means that you believe the ideal society is a communist society. Theoretically, you could be the king of britain and still be a communist.
I'm sure there are many people who are members of communist parties who are not actual communists, but there are some true believers who think they are working towards a communist society in the far future by building up state power in order to "compete" with capitalist/imperialist forces.
Again, I doubt their methods will work. I don't think you can work towards a stateless society by strenghtening the state. But I'm not gonna deny their ideals because I don't like their approach.
