message: Why is this portal linked to from the Fascism portal, but not vice versa? Or maybe I should ask: while this portal is NOT linked to the Fascism from itself, but why is the Fascism portal linked to here?207.216.33.144 (talk) 10:28, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Subtopics such as state capitalism and welfare capitalism are related to communism.  Even if we regard capitalism as the opposite of communism, there's an argument for linking complementary topics in the same way that, for example, Portal:Christianity links to Islam and Judaism.

message: I noted the template "Communist Parties in Europe" on the page of Communist Party of Sweden (1995). This template assigns one communist party to each country of Europe, but surely there must exist many different communist parties in each country? --213.65.178.172 12:44, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The template more or less corresponds to the mainstream of the European communist movement, by which there is usually one referent parties in each country. --Soman 13:03, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What is the source for the statement that these parties are "the mainstream"? And if there is "usually" one "mainstream" party, I guess there are cases where there are more than one. In Italy, for example, there are two communist parties in the governing coalition. In Sweden, there are lots of small communist parties, neither of which has any chance of entering the parliament. --213.65.178.19 14:42, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Howdy... 
While I'm a great student of this subject matter and a very interested person, I wonder about using the soviet sybolism for this portal. The USSR was a test in communism, but certainly not a perfect marxian representation of the social/economic system. By all means this social construct was home to many very powerful artistic devices, I wonder if perhaps a visual character which did not envoke the USSR and it's possible failure would be more appropriate to a more "universal" understanding of communism.

message: Hey. I'm not sure if this is the place to ask questions about communism but I wonder if someone could point me in the direction of an article that shows very clearly that communism is against free trade somehow? Thanks in advance! 85.228.200.162 14:58, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I would like to see the Taistoism article in English Wikipedia. Taistoism (taistolaisuus in Finnish) was the idea of the people who were in "the opposition" of Communist Party of Finland. Taistoism "blossomed" in 1970's but is still great topic in Finnish media. 84.251.73.218 14:48, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

message: There is a proposal I've started over at Radical left wherein I've definitively stated that "Radical Left" is what anarchists, left-communists, militant communists, militant socialists etc etc define themselves as in self-description, and not "far left". As you can see if you go to the link, I go into the reasons, but there's a grand total of 3 people currently involved in the discussion, and I need input from this WikiProject and other similar ones to provide me with the backup I need to push the proposal through. Please join in and offer your viewpoints. Thanks. Kikodawgzzz (talk) 01:40, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

message: Hello! I have just published the article Yearbook on International Communist Affairs, and I wonder if/how I could nominate it to be included in the Did you know... section of the portal. Here are a couple of suggested hooks:
* ... that the Yearbook on International Communist Affairs was the most comprehensive annual survey of Communist activities worldwide from 1966 to 1991?
** ... that the Yearbook on International Communist Affairs served as a detailed annual historical record of the activities of Communist parties around the world from 1966 to the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991?
Thank you.(talk) user:Al83tito  01:19, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

:Without going to a formal RFC can there be a discussion on the over-use of red in the above templates? All the countries don't need to be highlighted in red as a "look at me" or advertising. This especially looks gaudy when the two are on the same article.   Otr500 (talk) 15:43, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Otr500 Agree. It's visually overwhelming. We could adopt the design of Template:Social democracy sidebar or Template:Social democracy sidebar. Listing this discussion at WikiProject Socialism too. --MarioGom (talk) 22:17, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
