List of communist parties

There are a number of communist parties around the world.
In world history, the Russian and Chinese communists are very important.
In Western Europe, the French, Spanish and Italian communist parties are the biggest. They have taken part in either local, regional or central government in those countries.
Some communist parties have different names, such as Socialist Party, Socialist Workers Party, or Workers Party. But most socialist parties are social democratic and not communist.
