{{communism}} 
The '''Communist Party''' of the [[Russian Federation]] is a [[reactionary]] far-left [[Stalinism|neo-Stalinist]] political party. It is currently the second-largest party in [[Russia]] (after [[United Russia]]), once again proving the existence of the [[crazification factor]]. 

==Overview==
The party has basically created a [[personality cult]] around both Joseph Stalin and their current leader, Gennady Zyuganov. The party is [[Tankies|extremely apologetic]] towards whatever atrocities Stalin or [[Lenin]] had committed and decide to treat them as necessary evils or [[Historical revisionism|ignore/deny]] that such things ever happened in the first place.<ref>[http://cprf.ru/party-program/ Party Program], Communist Party of the Russian Federation</ref>

Being a neo-Stalinist party, they support privately owned small businesses, but still want to nationalize most agriculture and large industries. For some <sup>nationalistic</sup> reason, the party is pro-religious, contrary to its strongly [[atheist]]ic {{wpl|Communist Party of the Soviet Union|predecessor}}.

==Social issues==
The party is extremely [[Social conservatism|socially conservative]], anti-[[LGBT]], anti-[[abortion]], anti-[[liberal]], [[nationalist]]ic, and always championing "[[traditional values]],"{{cn}} [[Horseshoe theory|not unlike]] political ideologies it vehemently disagrees with. Naturally, the Party  leader, Zyuganov, believes that most [[modern art]] and [[academia]] has been ruined by the greed encouraged by the [[Capitalism|capitalist]] pig-dogs. They also support the reinstitution of the [[death penalty]] and are proudly "tough on crime."<ref>[http://en.ria.ru/russia/20100329/158350370.html Communist leader proposes reinstatement of death penalty for terrorists], RIA Novosti</ref>

Furthermore, many party leaders are hostile to ideas like [[global warming]] and [[Charles Darwin|Darwinian]] [[evolution]] ([[Lysenkoism|at least that part's like Stalinism]]), and have a hard-on for [[conspiracy theories]]. A favorite is that "national culture and morals" are being purposely destroyed in Russia.<ref>

</ref> For extra wackiness, Zyuganov has also expressed [[Antisemitism|anti-Semitic]] views.<ref>https://jamestown.org/program/zyuganov-apologizes-for-anti-semitic-remarks-of-comrades/</ref>
