Late to this post, but Italy and Greece for sure are the most likely. Maybe all of Germany but that’s a huge stretch and the UK and US won’t have it.
This comment is all over the place jfcActually, calling Marxist-Leninism, Maoism, or Khmer Rouge "communist" is like calling yourself a Catholic but saying you dont believe in the authority of the Bishop of Rome, or the sacraments or that stuff etc.
Or perhaps as another analogy, your MP could be saying she is Jewish but doesn't support Israel?
Technically, there are Catholics that do this. Mostly because they reject Vatican I.Actually, calling Marxist-Leninism, Maoism, or Khmer Rouge "communist" is like calling yourself a Catholic but saying you dont believe in the authority of the Bishop of Rome, or the sacraments or that stuff etc.
France, because the only people willing to work with the french would the the reds
this is coming from a brit
Then there would have been like three "real communists" in the whole word and the whole term would be largely meaningless. In history communism has come to connotate the gigantically influential Soviet experiment and model and its direct offshoots. Who moreover called themselves communists and marxists-leninists etc. It would really be totally redefining the term to mean whatever else - and I bet there would not be much common agreement among this tiny minority that insist "communism" meaning something else than Leninism-Marxism.Actually, calling Marxist-Leninism, Maoism, or Khmer Rouge "communist" is like calling yourself a Catholic but saying you dont believe in the authority of the Bishop of Rome, or the sacraments or that stuff etc.
No...you've got it backwards. You simultaneously say that "communism has come to connotate the gigantically influential Soviet experiment".Then there would have been like three "real communists" in the whole word and the whole term would be largely meaningless.

I'm tempted to give an impolite answer - but won't. In history, first come is rarely first served, and Lenin grabbed the copyright. Ruthless bugger. The question has been resolved over a century ago.But you've got it backward. Calling whatever Stalin and Mao did "communism" is completely redefining the historical term
No. If you think Marxist-Leninism (which was first coined by Stalin) and Marxism are the same thing, you're just wrong.I'm tempted to give an impolite answer - but won't.

Did I say that? No, they are not the same at all. Still, overwhelmingly the most concrete, overwhelmingly the most important historical interpretations of Marx were either Leninist or revisionist. And whatever directly developed from them. Marx used the term quite vaguely indeed leaving it basically free for adoption. And Vladimir Ilyich obliged. And so it goes. Or went.No. If you think Marxist-Leninism (which was first coined by Stalin) and Marxism are the same thing, you're just wrong.
It would undoubtedly be very punctual and orderlyI don't know that it's likely, but Swiss Communism would be interesting to explore.
Even more referendums?I don't know that it's likely, but Swiss Communism would be interesting to explore.

Perhaps. Maybe mixed with decentralization, fuller secularization, possible internal reorganization, and perhaps adoption of Esperanto or some other auxiliary language.Even more referendums?
Dealing with three different languages, though - would be funny if Latin gets a boost from this one. Either the full version or Peano's Latino sine flexione.It would undoubtedly be very punctual and orderly
Why? Probably they use the Yugoslavian model "you can be attended in your language in all parts of the country"Perhaps. Maybe mixed with decentralization, fuller secularization, possible internal reorganization, and perhaps adoption of Esperanto or some other auxiliary language.
Those languages are less divergent than Swiss tongues.Why? Probably they use the Yugoslavian model "you can be attended in your language in all parts of the country"
