communist party

Is their still a communist party in Ireland or in any country in the world that is not run by a dictator and has access to the Internet!

I have been reading about the uk in the 1970s and it really hard to understand how people really though revolution was the way forward and it had to see now how communism has so many adherence in Ireland and the UK in the 1970s.

I'm pretty sure nearly every country has a Commy Party. They're ubiquitous.

The CPI was a very small party in god fearing Ireland, it never gained any real traction-It was also generally believed to have been infiltrated with special branch, though the main perceived threat, especially during the 70's and 80's would have been sinn fein.
There was a brief flirtation in the universities at this time with the mao flavoured version-again very fringe.
Communists will argue now that there has never been a real implementaion of communism (apart from the brief period post revolutionary soviet union) but it is a story of splits between differing factions each proclaiming to hold the truth-That been said, the marx's analysis in das kapital of history and ecomics is interesting and can't be simply dismissed out of hand

I rode an Irish Communist chick about 10 years ago-she had a red star tattooed on her left breast. When the deed was done she started singing some Spanish Civil War song and I fell asleep.

If you can call a murderous dictatorship 'Communist' at all.
