A communist state is a state with a form of government characterized by single-party rule or dominant-party rule of a communist party and a professed allegiance to a communist ideology as the guiding principle of the state.
Communist states may have several legal political parties, but the communist party is usually granted a special or dominant role in government, often by statute or under the constitution. Consequently, the institutions of the state and of the communist party become intimately entwined, such as in the development of parallel institutions.
In the 20th century, most communist states adopted planned economies. However, there were exceptions: The Soviet Union during the 1920s and Yugoslavia after World War II allowed limited markets and a degree of worker self-management, while China, Vietnam and Laos introduced far-reaching market reforms after the 1980s.
The fundamental concepts of communist states often diverge from the original socio-economic ideologies from which they develop. As a result, many adherents of these ideologies often oppose the political systems commonly associated with these states. For example, activists describing themselves as Trotskyists or communists were often opposed to the communist states of the 20th century, claiming either that they have nothing to do with 'real' communism or that the ideology of such states has reached a point of irrevocable corruption.
@Harrymfink Have fun. I hope you realize that you lost the debate horribly, because I debated ALL of your points, and you debated NONE of mine. I was civil until the point where you decided to not acknowledge my points - simple narcissism on your part. You think you know Communism, but you truly don't, which is hilarious. My friends and I are laughing at your stupidity. Perhaps you should study nine months, before you think you know it all.

I'm going to move on to another person willing to debate in a civil and more articulate manner and submit to you the victory of this one to feed your ego. Although truly I'm leaving with a sense that you should maybe study another nine months..

@Harrymfink Toskyism is global revolution involving Communism. You know, the point i've been driving at for four comments now? Oh, and totally thanks for disregarding everything else I've disproved you at. Are you still talking? Youre quite the persistant troll.

Troskyism is a global revolution, meaning everyone would have to be involved for success. This is the point I've been driving at three comments ago?

@Harrymfink The concept of ownership is too large in the sense that the U.S, China, Great Britain, Russia, and essentially EVERY country no matter how large or small has the concept of ownership. Private property, public property. A government must be in place to have a NATION (stated for the fourth time) because a NATION cannot exist without GOVERNMENT, if there is no GOVERNMENT, there is no NATION, thus your people do not have the CONCEPT OF OWNERSHIP, and it is UNCONTESTED TERRITORY.

I'm finding your replies very confusing. Why must a government be in place to have a populous of people living together? And to refer to my second comment "it seems unlikely to occur before Capitalism eats us all alive." I was never implying a Socialist or any other socioeconomic movement would occur in the future. Also, what do you mean by concept of ownership is to large?

@Harrymfink Thats not what I said at all. I said that when there is no government, there is no concept of having a nation, you are literally an uncontested territory, because the concept of ownership still exists. Also, no government= no country, your people are NOT APPLICABLE as a PEOPLE. They are an UNCONTESTED TERRITORY. And a trotskyist movement could never happen, because the CONCEPT OF OWNERSHIP is too large. Either youre a huge troll, or you really have no idea what youre talking about.

I'm confused as to how I haven't answered your claim. You asserted that communism could not work because of the vulnerability to other non-communist nations. I answered by stating that this is why a Troskyist movement would be the only way around this issue, assuming an invasion would occur. Who's to say a lone country could not remain afloat as long as other nations respected there sovereignty.

@Harrymfink 9 months aye? Yeah, nine months. You can't just read shit on the internet and think you're smart. You're either horribly guillible, or you're a troll. You clearly don't even know Communism, seeing as how you can never defend it successfully. You put Global Revolution with communism. Even global revolution with communism will fail, seeing as how the concept of ownership will still exist amongst surviving governments, capitalists, and the like. No communist ever had the correct idea.

9 months aye? You could read a couple of Wikipedia pages and Das Capitol and a few other books by/about Marx and have sufficient knowledge of Communism. I'm sorry it took you so long. In my last response I deliberately put GLOBAL REVOLUTION to indicate the problem of vulnerability. This would be a Troskyist stance I suppose.
