Quasi-Communism (Disambiguation)

Quasi-Communism also small-communism is a term used to describe political ideologies that share or are accused of sharing important elements with Communism but do not claim to be communist, or they just aren't.

The term may refer to:

• Anarchism - The actual definition of the term "communism" is a stateless and classless society, which is basically Anarchism. Also, Anarchism is usually considered a far-left ideology.
• Ba'athism - Is considered similar to Communism due to its economics and alliances with communist countries.
• Chavismo - Chavismo is considered a quasi-communist ideology, as Hugo Chavez was a self-proclaimed Marxist and Trotskyist, and it also believes on socialist principles, along with a state-led economy. However, it's not considered entirely communist.
• Democratic Socialism - Many democratic socialists are largely sympathetic towards communism, as much of the theory for the ideology comes from Marx and Engels. The new democratic state can also be seen as a transition state between capitalism and communism.
• Environmentalism - Commonly accused of being Communist due to its opposition to some variants of Capitalism, and due to the fact that some of its variants are left-wing.
• Authoritarian Socialism - Shares almost all ideas with Marxism-Leninism except the desire to one day transition into a classless, stateless, moneyless society. Many adherents were also complete communists.
• Peruanismo, Arab Socialism and Socialism of the 21st Century - Are ideologies that heavily drawn on socialist economic ideas and have maintained good relations with communist countries. For example, in the cold war, Nasser was treated as an ideological equal to Castro and Tito.
