In this song, Crass (as anarchists) are criticising all Communist (big C) revolutions and their violent methods. They're also criticising the authoritarian systems which have always been set up after these revolutions. The song strongly emphasises the anarchist idea that systems like this are not communism at all (true communism should be libertarian and a form of anarchism) -- rather state capitalism.
Furthermore, Crass are making the point that government is government, and you can't "free" the people from it only to set up another one with a different name. People will only be truly free when there is no state and no private ownership of land and the means of production.
