Excerpt: The Vit Nam Quc Dân ng (VNQDD), also known as the Vit Quc, is the Vietnamese Nationalist Party, a revolutionary socialist political party that sought independence from French colonial rule in Vietnam during the early 20th century. Its origins lie in the mid-1920s, when a group of young Hanoi-based intellectuals began publishing revolutionary material. In 1927, after the publishing house failed because of French harassment and censorship, the VNQDD was formed under the leadership of Nguyen Thai Hoc. Modelling itself on the Republic of China's Kuomintang, the VNQDD gained a following among northerners, particularly teachers and intellectuals. The party, which was less successful among peasants and industrial workers, was organised in small clandestine cells. From 1928, the VNQDD attracted attention through its assassinations of French officials and Vietnamese collaborators. A turning point came in February 1929 with the killing of Hervé Bazin, a French labour recruiter widely despised by the Vietnamese people. Although the perpetrators' precise affiliation was unclear, the French authorities held the VNQDD responsible. Between 300 and 400 of the party's approximately 1,500 members were detained in the resulting crackdown. Many of the leaders wer...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=5778038 ... Read more

Excerpt: The League of Communists of Slovenia (ZKS) was the Slovenian branch of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia, the sole legal party of Yugoslavia from 1945 to 1989. It was established in April 1937 as the Communist Party of Slovenia, as the first autonomous sub-national branch of the Yugoslav Communist Party. Its initial autonomy was further amplified with the Yugoslav constitution of 1974, which devolved greater power to the various republic level branches. In 1989 Slovenia passed amendments to its constitution that asserted its sovereignty over the federation and its right to secede. These amendments were bitterly opposed by the leadership of Serbia under Slobodan Miloevi. On January 23, 1990, the Slovene delegation, headed by Milan Kuan, left the Party Congress of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia, leading to the collapse of the all-Yugoslav party. Shortly thereafter, the League of Communists of Slovenia changed its name to the Party of Democratic Reform (Stranka demokratine prenove - SDP), and negotiated with the Democratic Opposition of Slovenia the establishment of a multi-party system. In April 1990, the reformed Communists lost the elections to the DEMOS coalition. In 1992, they ceased to be the largest left wing party and entered a period of radical transformation, which gained momentum with the election of Borut Pahor as the party chairman. Their legal successor, the Social Democrats (SD) are currently the largest party of the ruling left wing coa...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=4315084 ... Read more

Excerpt: This article is part of the series:Politics and government ofBhutan The Bhutan Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist-Maoist) is a recently formed and banned political party in Bhutan. Formed in UN refugee camps in Nepal and largely composed of Bhutanese ethnic Nepali refugees, the BCM (MLM) calls for a New Democratic Revolution and the overthrow of the Bhutanese monarchy and the House of Wangchuck. Not much is known about the party and it appears to be small in number, yet an individual named Vikalpa has been announced as the general secretary and appears to be taking inspiration from the nearby Nepalese People's War. This is further supported by the fact that the BCM (MLM)'s first press release was done through the website of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist). This press release was dated the 22nd April 2003 (the anniversary date of birth of Vladimir Lenin) and so it roughly be assumed that this was around the time the party was formed. The party reportedly has a staunch anti-Indian line, accusing the monarchy of initiating a process of "Sikkimisation". The BCM (MLM) has announced, in one of the pamphlets found in the UN refugee camps, a 10 point list of "Demands for the Peasant Brothers and Sisters:" The party receives training such as bomb-making from Assam separatists after the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) entered parliament democracy. The party's armed wing is the Bhutan Tiger Force. In 2008 the Bhutanese Maoists exploded bombs in Bhutan, including in the capital Thimphu, durin...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=4781009 ...

Excerpt: The Romanian Communist Party (Romanian: , PCR) was a communist political party in Romania. Successor to the Bolshevik wing of the Socialist Party of Romania, it gave ideological endorsement to communist revolution and the disestablishment of Greater Romania. The PCR was a minor and illegal grouping for much of the interwar period, and submitted to direct Comintern control. During the 1930s, most of its activists were imprisoned or took refuge in the Soviet Union, which led to the creation of separate and competing factions until the 1950s. The Communist Party emerged as a powerful actor on the Romanian political scene in August 1944, when it became involved in the Royal coup that toppled the pro-Nazi government of Ion Antonescu.

Excerpt: "Youth Of All Communist Countries Unite" Young Communist League, Nepal is the youth wing of Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) (CPN-Maoist). The president of YCL is Ganeshman Pun and the general secretary of YCL is Dilip Kumar Prajapati. The Young Communist League (YCL) was formed by the CPNMaoist at some point (there is no definite information on the year of its creation) during the peoples war as an affiliate]] to provide support and energy to the revolution. Ganeshman Pun, chairman of the YCL, has stated that the League was reactivated in November 2006. According to him, the YCL "is a fusion of the Partys military and political character, and it is composed of PLA members who have an interest in politics." As the partys youth wing, its role is to "organise youth, be involved in events, conduct political awareness, and take part in development work as volunteers." Once the CPN-Maoist was proscribed, the YCL was also forced to go underground. After the April 2006 Jana Andolan (Peoples Movement) and the subsequent over-ground role of the insurgents, the CPN-Maoist decided to revive the YCL. With the development of the Communist Party in Nepal, different youth organizations were established under various names. These organizations remained on the forefront and played an important role in both mass movements and in the peasants movement. The Akhil Nepal Yuba Sangathan (All Nepal Youth Organization) was established in 1981 under the chairmanship of Comrade Prachanda and it played a positive role in the question of making revolutionary political line. In 1991, it was renamed the Young Communist Leag...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=10704273 ... Read more

In 1965, MEK was formed by a group of Iranian college students as an Islamic political movement. Grounded in the democratic tradition of Irans Constitutional Revolution, the ideals of Premier Mohammed Mossadeq, and the pro¬democracy protests of the 1960s, the organization held a liberal interpretation of Islam. The PMOI was originally devoted to armed struggle against the Shah of Iran, capitalism, and Western imperialism. The group claims to have renounced violence in 2001 and today it is the main organization in the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), an "umbrella coalition" claiming the role of a parliament-in-exile dedicated to a democratic, secular and coalition government in Iran.

From the author: During the period from 1964 to 1966, the Communist Party of Australia (CPA) moved from a position of denying the existence of anti-Semitism in the Soviet Union to voicing open public criticisms of Soviet policies towards its Jewish minority. These criticisms were unprecedented for an official Communist Party, and had considerable influence on the international communist movement. This paper explores the negotiations between Jewish community leader Isi Leibler and the CPA which induced these criticisms. It is argued that Leibler negotiated with the CPA on two fronts: official dialogue with the elected Sydney-based CPA leadership, and unofficial private discussions--which can arguably be termed secret collusion--with other senior CPA officials in Melbourne. These unofficial discussions seem to have been crucial in shifting the CPA from its traditional position.

Excerpt: This article is part of the series:Politics and government ofMalaysia The Malayan Communist Party (MCP), officially known as the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM), was founded in 1930 and laid down its arms in 1989. It is most famous for its role in the Malayan Emergency. Communism was first introduced into South-East Asia by Dutch radicals, and given impetus by the rise of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). In 1922 the CCP opened an clandestine office in Singapore which sowed the seed for the South Seas Communist Party (or Nanyang Communist Party). This party was mainly active in the Dutch East Indies and French Indo-China In Singapore its work centred on the trades unions. After their 1925 uprising failed, many Indonesian Communists took refuge in Singapore, and engaged in political work there under the auspices of the Third Communist International. In April 1930 the South Seas Communist Party was dissolved and was replaced by the Communist Party of Malaya. While its primary responsibility was Malaya and Singapore, the party was also active in Thailand and the Dutch East Indies, which did not then have their own Communist parties. The party operated as an illegal organisation under British colonial rule. In June 1931, many party leaders were arrested after a Comintern courier was intercepted by the police, sending the party into disarray. Information extracted from the courier indicated at this point there were 1,500 members and 10,000 sympathesisers.

Excerpt: The Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) was the largest communist party in Great Britain, although it never became a mass party like those in France and Italy. It existed from 1920 to 1991. The Communist Party of Great Britain was founded in 1920 after the Third International decided that greater attempts should be made to establish communist parties across the world. The CPGB was formed by the merger of several smaller Marxist parties: the British Socialist Party, the Communist Unity Group of the Socialist Labour Party and the South Wales Socialist Society. The party also gained the support of the Guild Communists faction of the National Guilds League, assorted shop stewards' and workers' committees, socialist clubs and individuals and many former members of the Hands Off Russia campaign. Several branches and many individual members of the Independent Labour Party also affiliated. As a member of the British Socialist Party, the ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=188031 ... Read more

Excerpt: The Mexican Communist Party (Spanish: ) was a communist party in Mexico. It was founded in 1911 as the Socialist Workers' Party (). The PSO changed its name to the Mexican Communist Party in November 1919 following the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. It was outlawed in 1925 and remained illegal until 1935, during the presidency of the leftist Lázaro Cárdenas. The PCM later lost its registration in 1946 because it did not meet the new requirements of at least 30,000 registered members in at least 21 of Mexico's 31 states and the Federal District. It is not clear whether the party was unable to recruit enough members or if, fearing repression, it refused to turn membership rolls over to the Secretary of the Interior, then in charge of elections. Over the next 30 years, the party had some minor influence in the Confederation of Mexican Workers (CTM) and among the intelligentsia of Mexico City. In the mid 1960s the U.S. State Department estimated the party membership to be approximately 50,000 (0.28% of the working age population of the country). In 1976 the party nomina...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=3621237 ... Read more
