Where is communism illegal?
I was hoping to find a list of countries in which communist parties, symbols, or rhetoric are currently outlawed. Does anyone know where I could find this?
Poland everything related to Communism is banned you can't even wear a red star.
Poland and the Baltic states outlawed all Communist symbols and you an be thrown in jail for denying 'crimes of the Soviet past', they tried to enact similar laws in Czech and Hungary but I think they failed.
Florida Laws: FL Statutes - Title XLVI Crimes Paragraph 876.01 “Criminal anarchy, Communism, and other specified doctrines; advocacy prohibited”
And South Korea because of North Korea (a Left communist -- i think -- was arrested for advocating socialism even though he considers North Korea 'state capitalism').
Everywhere in the United States advocating communism is technically illegal, but it is not strictly enforced being that there needs to be a substantive threat before they kill anyone.
“How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?” Charles Bukowski, Factotum
"In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, as 'right-to-work.' It provides no 'rights' and no 'works.' Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining... We demand this fraud be stopped." MLK

I believe Slovakia passed legislation to ban Communist symbols and the usual thing about making it illegal to deny 'crimes of Communist past'.

'extreme' is relative to some idea of a 'neutral center', which is almost always the dominant ideology or status quo. by placing yourself in this imaginary 'center' you are simply supporting the established order, and making yourself irrelevant as a human being. - Zenga Zenga
Why not just ban workers while your at it? see how well your society works.
What the hell?? Isn't that completely illegal?
In the US many unions ban membership from being members in a communist party or organization. UFCW union for one just recently lifted those restrictions. AFL-CIO proudly flaunted this restriction for membership.
I believe all the Iranian communists are in exile.
I know for sure that Hungary has banned communist symbols. I've read Lithuania and Latvia did it, too. They failed to pass the law in Estonia. Poland banned the symbols, but I've heard something about it being reversed last year (I think someone on this forum mentioned it, but I couldn't find confirmation anywhere on the 'Net).
I have no idea for countries outside Europe. I only know that you can be denied an American visa if you are - or even were - a member of a communist or anarchist organization.
Communism is illegal everywhere.
WHY kléber, WHY!!!!!!!
What are things like in Croatia? Are there any restrictions there?
Thankfully, no. All communist symbols are legal, as are communist parties (they're all quite small and insignificant, however). Nazi/ustaše symbols are banned, but this law is often ignored.
However, there is a moderately strong lobby that's trying to equate communism with fascism. There's also some neonazi idiots who hide behind labels like "patriots" or "real Croats", "good Catholics" etc. who are pushing to remove the remaining streets and squares named after Tito or other partisan war heroes (they haven't had any real success). The first group is far more dangerous.
I don't think they even need to ban the parties in many countries, since they have no teeth anymore due to the overwhelming anti-communist propaganda.
I feel it is a bigger problem when a Communist party becomes so "mainstream" that it loses itself to bourgeois politics.
I think having classical bourgeois-style parties is counterrevolutionary in many ways. I do believe that a party must exist, however I do not think it should ever compromise with other bourgeois parties. No alliance forming, and no deals. Compromise is defeatist I think. You are either a proper communist party, or you are some kind of social-democratic/nationalist mix of bullshit painted red with a hammer and sickle on your office door.
Just thinking out loud.
Tragically, and significantly, communism remains illegal and brutally suppressed in Indonesia.
Indonesia once had one of the largest communist parties of any post-colonial nation. The vibrant party managed to guide a significant share of post-independence initiatives and had substantial support among the working class. Moreover, the Communist Party enjoyed tremendous support for having fought vigorously against both Japanese and Dutch occupations.
And then the hammer fell - hard. Indonesian communism was crushed through massacres the scale of which can only be described as a true crime against humanity. Upwards of half a million communists, their sympathizers and their family members were murdered in a blood bath barely rivaled in Latin America. But unlike Latin America and parts of Africa, the regime in Indonesia never had to account seriously for its crimes.
Perhaps more tellingly, centrist politicians in Indonesia no longer see communism as a threat and have been inclined to relax prohibitions the way it was done in Taiwan and to a lesser extent Thailand. However, even these paltry concessions have met fierce opposition from an unholy alliance of Islamic radicals and Indonesia's immensely powerful oligarchy. The situation is likely to remain at the status quo in this, the world's fourth most populous country.

The Supreme Court has ruled that unless there is threat of "imminent lawless action" you can't arrest people for mere advocation of an idea without violating the free speech clause of the first amendment. Though, how they interpret "imment lawless action" is anyone's guess and there are several exceptions to freedom of speech in the U.S. The capitalist state is very good at carving out "necessary" exceptions to the rights they claim are absolute and "inalienable."
Where in Canada is being a communist illegal? I'm openly commie and tell others about it. I even carry the manifesto and read it in public location like cafes. The Communist Party of Canada has a website and it lists real names on it of members. I wear my Lenin pin as well when the time is right like at public meetings, etc...

I guess I can see some reason in former soviet states to ban communist symbolism but not only is it a insult to the phrase "freedom of expression" it Is also a disgusting attempt to suppress the prolaterates of the world. It's like denying it ever happened which is a horrible idea because the whole point of history is to LEARN from it. The only people who would want to ban communism are those who benefit most from capitalism and only a fool would believe it to be "what the people want".
