Main article: List of current communist states

The following countries are one-party states in which the ruling party declares allegiance to Marxism-Leninism and in which the institutions of the party and of the state have become intertwined; hence they fall under the definition of Communist states. They are listed here together with the year of their founding and their respective ruling parties.

Countries where institutions of the communist party and state are intertwined:

Current:

* People's Republic of China People's Republic of China (since 1949); Communist Party of China
* Cuba Republic of Cuba (Cuban Revolution in 1959, socialist state declared in 1961); Communist Party of Cuba
* North Korea Democratic People's Republic of Korea (since 1948); Workers' Party of Korea
* Laos Lao People's Democratic Republic (since 1975); Lao People's Revolutionary Party
* Vietnam Socialist Republic of Vietnam (since 1976); Communist Party of Vietnam (ruled the Democratic Republic of Vietnam since 1954)

There is a "Former" list as well, although it is much more lengthy, and includes the old U.S.S.R.
I'm not going to argue technical foreign government theory with you, I'm merely presenting history as we know it. (Straight from the almighty Wikipedia.)
All of these countries practice Socialism...but the Western Governments and their news media mislabeled them to be Communist Governments and the countries...in some cases...label themselves to be Communists thus they have commonly been called Communist countries. There has never been a been a country that actually practiced Communism just as there has never been a country that actually practiced Democracy.
