Excerpt:Communist Party of Indonesia Partai Komunis Indonesia The Communist Party of Indonesia (Indonesian : Partai Komunis Indonesia , PKI ) was the largest non-ruling communist party in the world prior to being crushed in 1965 and banned the following year. Forerunners An important early organization was founded by Dutch socialist Henk Sneevliet in 1914, under the name Indies Social Democratic Association (in Dutch : Indische Sociaal-Democratische Vereeniging , ISDV). ISDV was constituted essentially by the 85 members of the two Dutch socialist parties, SDAP and SDP , residing in the Dutch East Indies. . The Dutch members of the ISDV introduced Marxist ideas to educated Indonesians looking for ways to oppose colonial rule. In October 1915 ISDV started a publication in Dutch, Het Vrije Woord (The Free Word). The editor was Adolf Baars. The ISDV did not demand independence at the time of its formation. At this point ISDV had around 100 members, out of whom only three were Indonesian. However, it rapidly moved into a radical and anticapitalist direction. ISDV under Sneevliet became uncomfortable for the SDAP leadership in the Netherlands , who distanced themselves from the ISDV. In 1917 the reformist section of ISDV broke away, and formed their own Indies Social Democratic Party. In 1917 ISDV launched its first publication in Indonesian , Soea... ... Read more

The party is unrecognised by the Burmese authorities, rendering it illegal; so it operates in a clandestine manner, often associating with insurgent armies along the border of China. It is often referred to as the Burma Communist Party (BCP) by both the Burmese government and the foreign media. On 15 August 1939 at a secret meeting attended by seven men in a small room in Barr Street, Rangoon, the Communist Party of Burma was founded. They were: Its leaders in its long history of nearly 70 years were: Thakin is Burmese for master - members of the nationalist Dobama Asiayone (We Burmans Association) put Thakin in front of their names proclaiming that they were the true masters of Burma and not the British. Yèbaw means Comrade. The CPB had played a very significant leading role in the struggle for independence from Great Britain and against imperialism. Between 1942 and 1945, the party prepared for and organised resistance against world fascism, which took the form of the Japanese Occupation of Burma in the region.

Product Description
There have been internment camps and concentration camps in France before, during and after World War II. Beside the camps created during World War I to intern German, Austrian and Ottoman civilian prisoners, the Third Republic (1871-1940) opened various internment camps for the Spanish refugees fleeing the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). Following the prohibition of the French Communist Party (PCF) by the government of Edouard Daladier, they were used to detain communist political prisoners. The Third Republic also interned German anti-Nazis (mostly members of the German Communist Party, KPD). Then, after the July 10, 1940 vote of the full powers to Marshal Philippe Pétain and the proclamation of the "state of France", these camps were used to intern Jewish people, Gypsies, and various political prisoners (anti-fascists from all countries). Vichy opened up so many camps that it became a full economic sector, to the extent that historian Maurice Rajsfus may write: "The quick opening of new camps was creative of employments, and the Gendarmerie never ceased to hire during this period. ...

Excerpt: Historical parties The Communist Party of the Russian Federation (Russian: ) is a Russian political party. It is the second major political party in the Russian Federation. It is sometimes seen as a successor to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) and the Bolshevik Party. However, its structure and ideologies (such as abandoning atheism) differ radically from the original CPSU. The CPRF is led by Gennady Zyuganov, who co-founded the party in early 1993 with senior Soviet politicians Yegor Ligachev and Anatoly Lukyanov among others. Zyuganov had been the protege of Alexander Yakovlev, the "godfather of glasnost", on the CPSU Central Committee, and after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 he became active in the Russian "national-patriotic" movement, being the chairman of the National Salvation Front (some authors call him a nationalist). Early external collaborators included Eurasianist philosopher Aleksandr Dugin who helped to draft earlier party documents and pushed the party in the direction of nationalism. A new leftist umbrella movement was formed on the initiative of the CPRF on August 7, 1996. It was called People's Patriotic Union of Russia (NPSR) and consisted of more than 30 left-wing and right-wing nationalist organizations, such as the Russian All-People's Union led by Sergey Baburin. Gennady Zyuganov was its chairman. He was supported by the party as a candidate for Russia's presidency during the 1996 Presidential elections and 2000 Presidential elections.
