  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

As of 2026, five countries are recognized as having communist governments: China, Cuba, Laos, North Korea, and Vietnam.

These nations are characterized by one-party rule by a Communist Party, though many have adopted market-oriented economic reforms while maintaining authoritarian, state-controlled political systems.

People's Republic of China: Controlled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), it uses "socialism with Chinese characteristics," merging market capitalism with strict state political control.

Vietnam (Socialist Republic of Vietnam): A one-party state governed by the Communist Party of Vietnam, emphasizing market-oriented reforms alongside socialist principles.

Laos (Lao People's Democratic Republic): A one-party Marxist-Leninist state that has introduced limited private ownership and joined the WTO, yet keeps state control.

Cuba (Republic of Cuba): The only officially communist state in the Western Hemisphere, facing high state control and economic hardships.

North Korea (Democratic People's Republic of Korea - DPRK): Governed by the Workers' Party of Korea, it operates under the authoritarian Juche ideology and is largely isolated from global markets.

These nations differ significantly in their economic policies—China and Vietnam have seen rapid growth through market elements, while North Korea and Cuba maintain tighter, more traditional state control.
