The Partido Comunista, or Communist Party, is a political organization that advocates for the principles of communism, a system where the means of production are owned collectively. Founded in various countries during the early 20th century, these parties aim to establish a classless society by eliminating private property and promoting social equality. In many nations, the Partido Comunista has played a significant role in shaping political landscapes, often leading to the establishment of socialist governments. Notable examples include the Partido Comunista de China and the Partido Comunista de Cuba, both of which have maintained power for decades through various political strategies and reforms.
