	Workers' Party of Korea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the 1930s the party, in alliance with the Communist Party of China, conducted guerilla operations in the mountains of northern Korea against the Japanese and Kim became one of the party's guerilla leaders.
		The Twentieth Party Congress of the Soviet Communist Party was a bombshell with Nikita Khrushchev's Secret Speech denouncing Stalin and the inauguration of destalinisation.
		The party congress approves reports of the party organs, adopts basic party policies and tactics, and elects members to the WPK Central Committee and the Central Auditing Committee.

	Congress of the CPSU - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Congress of the CPSU was the gathering of the delegates of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and its predecessors.
		The frequency of party congresses also varied with the meetings being annual events in the 1920s while no Congress was held at all between 1939 to 1952.
		Between the congresses the party was ruled by the Central Committee, abbreviated as ЦК, "Tseka".

	Romanian Communist Party -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		In all the party membership was largely derived from regions which had recently been added to Romania, where Romania was more likely to be seen as an occupying and colonial power—a view that pervaded party manifestos in the 1920s and 1930s, further contributing to the party's "anti-national" image.
		The perception of the party as a "foreigners" party likely limited its appeal among ethnic Romanians along with the fact that the largely agrarian economy meant that peasants were the largest element of the population, with the working class being very small.
		When the Romanian Workers' Party became the Romanian Communist Party in 1965 it was reported that the party had 1,450,000 members or 8% of the population with 44% of the members being workers, 34% peasants, 10% intellectuals and 12% in other categories.

		The main purpose in calling the 20th Congress of the C.P.S.U. was to lay down in unequivocal terms for the sake of Party and Government officials the new direction of Soviet policy, both internally and externally, under the present leadership.
		It is significant that these popular measures should be announced during the Party Congress and not at the time of the announcement of the sixth five-year plan, a fact which is surely designed to enhance the prestige of party leadership.
		The Congress was the place to set matters straight, and in order to show how the triumph of communism will come about, Khrushchev has gone into some detail as to the nature of the transition in various countries.

	Nikita S
		Lenin always diligently observed that the norms of party life were realized, that the party statute was enforced, that the party congresses and the plenary sessions of the central committee took place at the proper intervals.
		The majority of the Central Committee members and candidates elected at the 17th congress and arrested in 1937-38 were expelled from the party illegally through the brutal abuse of the party statute, because the question of their expulsion was never studied at the Central Committee plenum.
		These victories are the result of the great drive and activity of the nation and of the party as a whole; they are not at all the fruit of the leadership of Stalin, as the situation was pictured during the period of the cult of the individual.

	Khrushchev's "Secret Speech," 1956
		Nikita Khrushchev (1894-1971), First Secretary of the Communist Party (1953-1964) and Premier of the Soviet Union (1958-1964) delivered the following speech to an unofficial, closed session of the Twentieth Party Congress on February 25, 1956.
		In the main, and in actuality, the only proof of guilt used, against all norms of current legal science, was the "confession" of the accused himself; and, as subsequent probing proved, confessions were acquired through physical pressures against the accused.
		It became apparent that many Party, Soviet and economic activists who were branded in 1937-1938 as enemies were actually never enemies, spies, wreckers, etc., but were always honest Communists; they were only so stigmatized, and often, no longer able to bear barbaric tortures, they charged themselves with all kinds of grave and unlikely crimes.

		This new basis of party building is a decisive conclusion from the revisionist degeneration of many former communist parties and from the restoration of capitalism in all socialist countries without exception in the second half of the twentieth century.
		The new party program generally claims to provide a programmatic orientation to the new-type Marxist-Leninist party and to demonstrate, in particular to the working class and the broad masses, which conclusions the MLPD has drawn from the history of the international Marxist-Leninist and working-class movement.
		The new party program has been written out of the experience of the MLPD's history of almost thirty years of party building; its draft was not only critically discussed by the party members, but also by interested persons not attached to any party and by the international Marxist-Leninist and working-class movement as well.

		When we analyse the practice of Stalin in regard to the direction of the party and of the country, when we pause to consider everything which Stalin perpetrated, we must be convinced that Lenin’s fears were justified.
		We must affirm that the party fought a serious fight against the Trotskyites, the Rightists, and bourgeois nationalists, and that it disarmed ideologically all the enemies of Leninism.

	10th Congress -- On the Syndicalist and Anarchist Deviation in our Party (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		In the first place, the concept of 'producer' lumps together the proletarian with the semi-proletarian and with the small commodity producer, thus deviating in a fundamental fashion from the basic concept of class struggle and from the basic requirement that a clear distinction be made between the classes.
		In the second place, the incorrect formulation of the question of relations between the party and the broad non-party masses - a formulation that results in subordination of the party to non-party elements - as contained in the thesis in question, is not any less a fundamental divergence from marxism.
		The X Congress of the RKP declares that it also considers fundamentally incorrect all attempts by the group in question and by individuals to defend their mistaken views by citing paragraph 5.

	ipedia.com: Stalinism Article
		Because of the prestige and influence of the successful socialist revolution in the Soviet Union, revolutions throughout the 20th century that abolished capitalism tended to follow the model of socialism as developed in the USSR, both politically and economically.
		After Stalin's death in 1953, Stalin's successor Nikita Khrushchev repudiated his policies and condemned Stalin's cult of personality at the Twentieth Party Congress in 1956 and instituted a process of destalinization and minor liberalisation.
		China subsequently pursued the ideology of Maoism independently; Albania took the Chinese party's side in the Sino-Soviet Split and remained committed to Stalinism for decades thereafter under the leadership of Enver Hoxha.

		The object of the exercise would be to relieve the burden of guilt which the party still bears, and to recognise that coming to terms with the past is essential for a truly new, democratic beginning.
		Brass faced denials of impropriety can only alienate older uncommitted voters who are well aware of the damaging effect those elections and all that they entailed had on the body politic and the entire democratic structure of the state.
