I don’t think he was actually a communist. He was a globalist, part of the Anglo-American Establishment Carroll Quigley (Bill Clinton’s mentor and professor at Georgetown) talked about in Tragedy and Hope.

Hiss was a communist spy. A book that completely nails Hiss is “Perjury - The Hiss-Chambers Case”. The author set out to prove Hiss innocent. As he researched the book, the evidence mounted up against Hiss and the author ended up proving him guilty beyond any reasonable doubt. There is also evidence revealed later on from Soviet intelligence material that confirms his guilt.
The evidence that Hiss was “ALES” — code name for a long time deep cover GRU spy in the US State Dept. — is considered pretty conclusive by most qualified historians on the subject. About as conclusive as these things ever get.
