San Marino was a communist state from 1945-1957 under the Sammarinese Communist Party. Currently in the "Previous communist states" section, San Marino is not present. [1] Polskaball.420 ( talk) 06:56, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

The short-lived Bavarian Soviet Republic had an extreme-left government of short duration that showed obvious imitation of the nascent Soviet state, but is not shown on the world map of "Communist states". Its motto was Karl Marx' Workers of the World, Unite! Pbrower2a ( talk) 06:02, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
@ Altenmann first, can you name some examples of multi-party communist states you have in mind? Communism is the ideology according to which communist parties govern and administer states that we call communist states. It does not make sense to state that a state is governed by an ideology itself. And please acknowledge standard practice among scholars on capitalization of the words derived from "Communism" (see [Note 3] in the lede of article Communism). – Vipz ( talk) 18:38, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
@ Altenmann Hello, just following you up on your reversal of my admittedly bold removal. My logic is that the "Analysis" section of the "Communist state" article should thoroughly analyse communist states (e.g., economic aspects, socialist economic planning, among others), not a different regime that followed.
I have two further reasons: 1) The sources cited refer to the discourse on communism in relation the capitalism that followed (which is a different topic), and 2) The sources' main topic is not about analysis of communist states. I think the comparison could be made to the analysis of the Russian Empire by considering the chaos of the Russian Revolution / first Soviet decade, or analysis of the Ancien Regime by considering the French Revolution. Those characteristics would perhaps be suitable for a "Legacy" section - although not overstated - but certainly not under an "analysis" of "communist states" themselves - a different topic. Thanks.
