North Korea

• Please explain the removal of North Korea from the picture. Elmor (talk) 05:16, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
  • North Korea does not identify itself as a Communist state anymore as it has removed from its constitution every reference to Marxism-Leninism. Official state ideology is now Juche which is a mixture of Marxism and Eastern philosophies. I will upload a version of the picture where North Korea is striped red/grey, to reflect its rather ambiguous status--Carnby (talk) 12:57, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
    • Yes, I agree, that would probably be the best. Elmor (talk) 08:04, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
      • i am not so sure how you come to this idea? have you any official sources from North Korea?--Crossswords (talk) 22:31, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
        • Please read Communist state: you will find that North Korea is a borderline Communist country and has no reference to Marxism-Leninism in its constituition. For this reason it is striped.--Carnby (talk) 22:27, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
        • It says Socialist constitution, Juche is nothing more than a branche of communism.

          • A lot of countries (including some liberal ones, such as Portugal) have constitutional references to Socialism. Juche is not Communism stricto sensu, it is a mixed ideology.--Carnby (talk) 11:14, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
            • Yeah, and the Soviet Union called itself Socialist too. It depends on the context in which you use the word. Portugal obviously just meant something along the lines of "Democratic Socialism" -- which North Korea clearly does not uphold, even though it obviously claims to be democratic. Furthermore, we could very well contend China is a Capitalist state which claimed to be Communist, and Vietnam claims to have a "Socialist-oriented Market Economy" -- are they Communist?

Nepal missing

Nepal is a representative elected country, governed mostly by communists parties, including Maoist ones, since 2008, after throwing monarchy. Popolon (talk) 18:06, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

It's not a Marxist-Leninist state; it is a democracy which has been ruled by some Communist parties.--Carnby (talk) 12:23, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

有争议

台湾是否为中华人民共和国领土有争议，而且这些国家应该被称作社会主义国家而非共产主义国家。--Xhs44444100 (talk) 12:18, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
