Talk:Communist Party of Estland

This party is de facto defunct. Furthermore, after Estonia regained its independence, the Communist Party was outlawed (as was the case in Latvia, too, where communist have to call their party officialy Socialist Party)Constanz 17:28, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
 * No, that's not the case. There was a mass exodus of EKP members into other parties once political freedoms were again available, but the Estonian Left Party is widely considered to be a successor party of the original EKP.
 * The only basis under Estonian law for outlawing an organisation is that of the organisation constituting a crime-organised group. This may be declared by a court, and once that's declared, it also applies to future configurations of the same people with similar goals; hence, if EKP had been outlawed, so would have been the variously-named successor of it.  Contrariwise, it even had small Parliament representation for a while. Digwuren 06:28, 20 May 2007 (UTC)


 * This is, which the article clarifies, a separate party from the original EKP. --Soman 09:59, 4 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Eestimaa Kommunistlik Partei is always translated as CP of Estonia, term Estland is never used.--Constanz - Talk 07:31, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
