Communist Party

A political party that advances communist ideology—advocating the abolition of private property and establishment of a classless, stateless society—with references typically to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the Chinese Communist Party, or national parties like the CPUSA. The claims illustrate it as an organized political body across various countries and time periods, which individuals could join, be expelled from, or support.
