Talk:communist

12/08/2005 Checked the italian translation

In de Nederlandse Nieuwe Spelling is het "communist" met een C ipv een K. In Dutch "Nieuwe Spelling" it's written as "communist" with a C instead of a K. 82.161.38.100 19:51, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Most common usage not included
Probably even more frequent than all the academic literature that has used the word "communist", the most common, everyday use of this word generally means something closer to, "Somebody with whom the speaker is in disagreement." The vast majority of the population has no idea what communism is and anything that they don't like will often be written off as communism. In the interests of accurately reflecting the way words are used, an entry that reflects this reality is in order.

 * Better: "A leftist with whom the speaker is in disagreement", right-wingers are not called communists. A right-winger with whom the speaker is in disagreement can similarly be called a fascist. Mölli-Möllerö (talk) 19:06, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

RFV discussion: March–June 2023
Rfv-sense "Russian" and "Slav". I suspect we might be missing an altcaps of sense 3 of Communist ("Any citizen of a country controlled by such a party"), which is probably what "Russian" is getting at and should be changed to. - -sche (discuss) 02:46, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
