Communism
Communism (from Latin la, communis, lit=common, universal, label=none) is a far-left sociopolitical, philosophical, and economic ideology and current within the socialist movement whose goal is the establishment of a communist society, a socioeconomic order centered around common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange which allocates products to everyone in the society.: "One widespread distinction was that socialism socialised production only while communism socialised production and consumption." Communist society also involves the absence of private property, social classes, money, and the state. Communists often seek a voluntary state of self-governance, but disagree on the means to this end. This reflects a distinction between a more libertarian approach of communization, revolutionary spontaneity, and workers' self-management, and a more vanguardist or communist party-driven approach through the development of a constitutional socialist st ...

Unified Egyptian Communist Party
The Unified Egyptian Communist Party ( ar, الحزب الشيوعي المصري الموحد) was a political party in Egypt. The party was founded in February 1955 through the merger of the Democratic Movement for National Liberation (HADITU) and six splinter organizations (including HADITU-Revolutionary Tendency, ''an-Najm al-Ahmar'', ''an-Nuah'' and Communist Vanguard). The talks regarding the merger were held without the HADITU leader Henri Curiel (in exile in Paris) being aware of them.

Egyptian Communist Party (ar-Rayat Ash-Sha'ab)
The Egyptian Communist Party ( ar, الحزب الشيوعي المصري), often referred to as the ''Raya'' group after its publication ''ar-Rayat ash-Sha'ab'' (الراية الشعب, 'People's Banner'), was a communist party in Egypt founded in late 1949. The party was led by Fuad Mursi and Ismail Sabri Abdullah, who both had studied in Paris and joined the French Communist Party there. When Mursi returned to Egypt in 1949, the party was founded (Abdullah returned to Egypt in 1951). Mursi opposed the influence of Jews within the Egyptian communist movement, and rejected the Democratic Movement for National Liberation (Hadeto) and its leader Henri Curiel. The ''Raya'' leadership argued that Jewish influence and sexual libertinism had led to the fall of Hadeto, and they Jews and women were barred from party membership (The prohibition for women to join the party was later gradually relaxed). The ''Raya'' group was the sole communist faction in Egypt at the time, in which Jewish c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Far-left Politics
Far-left politics, also known as the radical left or the extreme left, are politics further to the left on the left–right political spectrum than the standard political left. The term does not have a single definition. Some scholars consider it to represent the left of social democracy, while others limit it to the left of communist parties. In certain instances, especially in the news media, ''far-left'' has been associated with some forms of authoritarianism, anarchism, and communism, or it characterizes groups that advocate for revolutionary socialism, Marxism and related communist ideologies, anti-capitalism or anti-globalization. Extremist far-left politics have motivated political violence, radicalization, genocide, terrorism, sabotage and damage to property, the formation of militant organizations, political repression, conspiracism, xenophobia, and nationalism. Far-left terrorism consists of militant or insurgent groups that attempt to realize their ideals thro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
