Communist state
From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change
A communist state or communist country is a country with a communist government. Communism, a branch of socialism, was thought up by Karl Marx. Communists, however, never use the term because they say that communism is a society without the state, so a communist state does not make sense to them.
