Stat comunist

Statul comunist este acel stat guvernat de un singur partid politic care-și declară afilierea politică la marxism sau marxism-leninism.

Liderii statelor guvernate de partide comuniste își denumesc statele ca state socialiste. În teoria politică marxistă, comunismul este definit ca o societate fără clase sociale, egalitaristă, în care a dispărut statul, în timp ce socialismul este definit ca o fază tranzitorie, caracterizată prin dictatura proletariatului.

Au existat mai multe cazuri de state comuniste cu procese de participare politică care au implicat mai multe alte organizații non-partid, precum sindicatele, comitetele fabricilor și participarea la democrație directă.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5] Termenul "stat comunist" este folosit de istoricii occidentali, de oamenii de știință și de mass-media pentru a se referi la aceste țări. Cu toate acestea, spre deosebire de uzul occidental, aceste state nu se descriu ca fiind "comuniste", nici nu pretind că au realizat comunismul - se referă la ele însele ca state socialiste sau muncitoare care se află în procesul de construire a socialismului.^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]

Contrary to Western usage, these countries describe themselves as 'Socialist' (not 'Communist'). The second stage (Marx's 'higher phase'), or 'Communism' is to be marked by an age of plenty, distribution according to needs (not work), the absence of money and the market mechanism, the disappearance of the last vestiges of capitalism and the ultimate 'whithering away' of the State.

The decisive distinction between socialist and communist, as in one sense these terms are now ordinarily used, came with the renaming, in 1918, of the Russian Social-Democratic Labour Party (Bolsheviks) as the All-Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks). From that time on, a distinction of socialist from communist, often with supporting definitions such as social democrat or democratic socialist, became widely current, although it is significant that all communist parties, in line with earlier usage, continued to describe themselves as socialist and dedicated to socialism.
