what is a Communist state ??
Answers
Communist state is a state with a form of government characterized by single-party rule or dominant-party system by a party which claims to follow communism, usually with a professed allegiance to Marxism-Leninism as the guiding ideology of the state. None of these states achieved communism, and the term is used no matter to what degree that state or the movement associated with it actually follows communism, if at all. The label is the source of controversy, especially among the left; according to many communist and Marxist tendencies, the system in use in the Soviet Union and the states modeled after it - which claimed to have reached socialism, not communism - was not socialism but rather state capitalism. Some argue that term "Communist state" is an oxymoron as a communist society is stateless, therefore the term Marxist-Leninist state is more appropriate, while "communist state" is a Western term. The states called themselves socialist states, because they claimed to have established or aim at the establishing of the socialist society, i.e., a society based on the principles of scientific socialism.
Answer:
A Communist state is a state that is administered and governed by a single party, guided by Marxist–Leninist philosophy.
