  List of communists - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of the major figures in history who identified themselves as communists.
However, the list does include all self-described communists, making no judgement as to whether their views actually do fit within the realm of communism.
For a more comprehensive list of Communists from the Soviet Union see category:Soviet politicians.

Following Lenin's democratic centralism, the Communist parties were organized on a hierarchical basis, with active cells of members as the broad base; they were made up only of elite cadres approved by higher members of the party as being reliable and completely subject to party discipline.
Despite the activity of the Comintern, the Soviet Communist Party adopted the Stalinist theory of "socialism in one country" and claimed that, due to the "aggravation of class struggle under socialism," it was possible, even necessary, to build socialism in one country alone.
Communist parties, or their descendent parties, remain politically important in many European countries and throughout the Third World, particularly in India.

 [A-List] Japan: communists go right   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
To counter this move to the right and regain public support, the JCP made the controversial decision to abandon its demand for the removal of the Emperor, the head of the Chrysanthemum throne, the oldest hereditary monarchy in the world, and instead suggest the matter "be solved by the citizens".
The prospect of the Communist party sacrificing the primacy of the worker and tolerating imperial rule presents it with significant ideological hurdles.
This performance was a marked decline from the heady days of a 1998 "voter revolt", when the JCP won 14.6 per cent of the vote and played a large part in removing the Liberal Democratic party from power for the first time since the end of the second world war.

 Major Religions Ranked by Size
The list was created by the same people who collected and organized this database, in consultation with university professors of comparative religions and scholars from different religions.
A listing of doctrinally and organizationally meaningful divisions or denominational "branches" (such as Catholic, Eastern/Orthodox Christian, Sunni Islam, Shiite Islam, Evangelical Christian, Mahayana Buddhism, Theravada Buddhism, etc.) would clearly be useful, but that is the subject of a different list: Major Branches of Major World Religions.
This list is based primarily on the degree of doctrinal/theological similarity among all the various sub-groups which belong to these classifications, and to a lesser extent based on diversity in practice, ritual and organization.

 Revealed: George Orwell's Big Brother dossier - Charles' George Orwell Links
The story of how George Orwell compiled a list of "crypto-Communists" and how it came to be sent to a secret government department reads like some lost episode from Nineteen Eighty-Four.
In the beginning, he kept his list as a kind of private exercise in which he could speculate at will and cast doubts on people who might not deserve such treatment.
His prejudices and raw emotions are at play in the list and reveal both his deep distrust of the Left and his vague hopes for a new form of democratic socialism.

 The New York Review of Books: Orwell's List
The communists had just taken over Czechoslovakia, in the Prague coup of February 1948, and they were now blockading West Berlin, trying to strangle the city into submission.
As she recorded in her official memorandum of their meeting, Orwell "expressed his whole-hearted and enthusiastic approval of our aims." He couldn't write anything for IRD himself, he said, because he was too ill and didn't like to write "on commission," but he suggested several people who might.
What remains most unsettling about the list he actually sent is the way in which a writer whose name is now a synonym for political independence and journalistic honesty is drawn into collaboration with a bureaucratic department of propaganda, however marginal the collaboration, "white" the propaganda, and good the cause.

 Guardian Unlimited Books | News | Orwell's list of 'crypto-communists' to be released
The government has agreed to strip the final shred of secrecy from the leftwing author George Orwell's famous 54-year-old list of "crypto-communists" and put it in the public domain.
Like the list the Guardian published, it contains the names of 38 public figures, from the actors Charlie Chaplin and Michael Redgrave to the author JB Priestley, whom Orwell suggested should not be trusted by the IRD as anti-communist propagandists.
But in today's column in the Guardian, Garton Ash warns of parallels between the cold war anxiety in which Orwell compiled his list and the current war against terrorism in which Alastair Campbell was trying to "intimidate" the BBC.

By the way it was the "Unity" list that allowed Richard B. the accused Stalinist on to the list while banning the "hard-orthodox Trotskyist" Malecki from the lists inception thus blocking with the defenders of Stalin against Malecki and breaking the list rules on banning "Stalinists" which they are responsible for in the first place.
If we publish your contribution then others on the list would expect that we should publish their thoughts and opinions on their particular topics of interest and so the number of messages posted to the list would dramatically increase.
