I figured with all the talk about the People's Republic being abound, it would be a great time to pull this handy infograph out to help illustrate how a communist party functions in a socialist state.

Also FYI this is also - plus or minus details here and there - how the CPSU operated as well.

This is a great interactive guide for both newcomers unfamiliar with how communist parties in socialist states are organized and for educated Marxists who can use the opportunity to both brush up on old info in a shiny new form and help educate anyone with questions.

That said, for anyone new to hexbear's Marxism page, please don't be either annoying, pedantic, or a combination of the two. Productive and educational discussions good. Nitpicking sophistry bad.

Semper post.
