I think we need to split these into official communist parties and those that are 'unoffical' such as the revolutionary communists etc. Of course what constitutes offical post 1991 is an interesting point.
We then need to think about what constitutes a communist party - is it anything with communist in its name? Some of the 57 varieties of leftist have communist in their name and some don't. Should there be a separate list of trotskyist parties? Should reformed communists like the Party of Democratic Socialism be in here?
As for Maoists, what I've said in the intro is that "parties on this list are mostly those that were aligned with either Moscow or Beijing during the Cold War and their offshoots". I think a seperate list for Trotskyist parties would make more sense given their number (there is a list of international Trotskyist movements already, that may be sufficient)AndyL 17:29, 20 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Coalition Communists[edit]
Since the Progressive Party of the Working People in Cyprus has been added, which rules in coalition as well as the Moldovan Communists, who rule through their victory in Democratic elections, I thought it would be fair to add all Communist Parties in ruling coalition governments. Similarly, there are many countries whose ruling Party is described as Marxist/Communist on their Wikipedia pages but which are not listed here, namely SWAPO, PFDJ and ZANU-PF and CPP so I also thought it would be appropriate to add them. The coalition Communist Parties I have noticed have all been posted, they all are currently in the ruling coalition of these governments, as is the AKEL in Cyprus.
- SWAPO, PFDJ, and ZANU-PF are not, and probably were never (the PFDJ may have been at one point), communist parties. The CPP (I assume you are referring to Ghana's Convention People's Party) also was not a communist party. All four groups used elements of Marxist thought and rhetoric, but this is not the same as Marxism-Leninism or communism. —Sesel 01:48, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Turkmenistan & Uzbekistan[edit]
Why are the communist parties not listed there from these areas, present or past? That-Vela-Fella 13:59, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
EX-Communist parties[edit]
What about the parties that were once Marxist-Leninist (MPLA, FRELIMO and ZANU-PF) but have since backed away from these ideologies in favour of others. Should they be included? Also is the Korean Worker's Party even officially "communist" any more? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 01:01, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
The current ruling party in Mozambique is Marxist-Leninist, it says on Mozambique's page. Should Mozambique be added? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 07:40, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- It's already listed as it was M-L, under List_of_communist_parties#Formerly_ruling. That-Vela-Fella (talk) 19:43, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
in government?[edit]
I think a minimum criteria for being listed as being in government must be having members of the national cabinet. For example, PCV in Venezuela is part of the broader Chavista movement, but doesn't not have government presence at the moment. --Soman (talk) 19:14, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, that is a good point. The Communist Party of Belarus also supports their country's president, but is not part of any kind of formal coalition government. The "Kurdistan" listed in this article is not a separate country, but a region of Iraq. Finally, the People's Progressive Party (Guyana) is not even a communist party, yet it is listed! Cmrdm (talk) 21:12, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
- True on the above mentioned after looking into it myself. The PCV & the CPB are not directly involved in the governing aspect of the Venezuelan or Belrussian nations respectively (just supportive) and should be removed. The Kurdistan one is ok, as it is part of the Alliance that is within the government of Iraq. Also the PPP of Guyana should be removed as the reason said already. That-Vela-Fella (talk) 09:34, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
- The People's Progressive Party of Guyana includes Marxism-Leninism in their party programme. So, I would assume it would count as a Communist Party, at least de-facto, if not in reality. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 23:22, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
- The PPPG does not consider itself to be a communist party, which is why it does not belong on this list. Read this introduction from the party's website: About PPP/Civic. Cmrdm (talk) 00:59, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Lower-case c or upper-case C?[edit]
A few facts: When spelled with a lower-case "c," the word "communism" has a broad meaning which includes anarchism, Marxism, and utopian socialism. When used with an upper-case "C," the word "Communism" specifically refers to parties with "Communist" in their name. The same goes for Socialism/socialism and Social-Democracy/social-democracy; lower case refers to the ideology, upper case refers to the name. Only a sectarian clown would declare that "Only the Juche-Hoxhaist 5th Internationalist Communist Parties can be truly considered Communist."
If Trotskyist parties (even ones that were/are "Communist" something) are not included, then this should be retitled "List of Stalinist Parties" or to appease the Stalinists, "List of Marxist-Leninist Parties."
To sum up: "Communism" does not refer to a particular trend of Marxism; when capitalized, it merely refers to parties which have "Communist" in their name. When uncapitalized, it refers to any political philosophy which advocates the establishment of a classless society - whether by revolutionary or any other means! If this list is "List of Communist Parties," then any party with Communist in the name should be on the list. If it is "List of communist parties," then even the Russian SR's and the early German SPD should be included because they advocated a classless society (communism) even if they completely failed to chart a way there. Ahuitzotl (talk) 06:55, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
- The notion of differentiation between upper-case and lower-case has been mentioned at Communism, but frankly the source ([1]) doesn't really back up that claim. As far as I can see there is no real difference in meaning between 'Communist' and 'communist', its just a stilistic marker. A communist party is not just any party with the word 'communist' in its name, the concept embodies a certain organizational profile (at least in rhetoric) of democratic centralism and the notion of being a vanguard party. --Soman (talk) 09:56, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
- I think the current wording already provides an excellent explanation, "Some Communist parties have names such as Socialist Party, Socialist Workers Party, Workers' Party, etc. The parties on this list are mostly those that were aligned with either Moscow or Beijing during the Cold War and their offshoots. Groups originating in the Trotskyist tradition are not included in the listing.
- Keep in mind that not all of these parties are Marxist-Leninist anyway, some are Eurocommunist and one is Juche. The Trotskyist parties have their own special list that is linked to at the top of the article. This helps to keep the list orderly, because there are more than 500 known Trotskyist groups on the planet currently. Cmrdm (talk) 16:24, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
How is it that so many communist parties are allowed to exist? The communists and their ideology are responsible for hundreds of millions of murders worldwide. For balance, there should be an equal number of National Socialist parties, ruling and non-ruling, in place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 16:33, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Soman, communism is a lot older than Marxism, and Marxism is older than Leninism. There are reformist socialists who consider themselves Marxists and communists, but are firmly opposed to the Leninist conception of a "vanguard party." There are anarchists who consider themselves communists (because they advocate a classless society), yet are firmly opposed to both Marxism and Leninism. There are also many religious organizations (early Christianity for example) that advocate or have advocated some form of utopian communism. All Leninists are Marxists and all Marxists are communists but not all communists are Marxists and not all Marxists are Leninists. To confuse the three terms in such a philistine manner, as if you might reinvent the definitions of words according to your own prejudices, is atrocious.
Cmrdrm: if this list isn't ideologically homogeneous, why leave out some "Communist Parties?" Either it should include all parties with Communist in the name, or all parties that advocate a classless society (communism), even if some sections are simply a link to other lists. To pick and choose which "Communist Parties" are really Communist, and arbitrarily throw in a few communist parties without Communist in the name, is subjective, ridiculous, demonstrates confusion over the definition of the terms, and will serve to further confuse others (like our Nazi clown friend 220.127.116.11 here) instead of educating them. Ahuitzotl (talk) 17:29, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
There is an error about Brazilian Communist Party and PPS (Socialist People's Party). BCP didnt became SPP, some people of BCP left it and created SPP but Brazilian Communist Party still exists they only lose their number but they legacy is recognized by Electoral Justice.

Information needing to be added[edit]
A political party described as a communist party includes those that advocate the application of the social principles of communism through a communist form of government. The name originates from the 1848 tract Manifesto of the Communist Party by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.[1]
A communist party is, at least according to Leninist theory, the vanguard party of the working class, whether ruling or non-ruling, but when such a party is in power in a specific country, the party is said to be the highest authority of the dictatorship of the proletariat. Lenin's theories on the role of a communist party were developed as the early 20th-century Russian social democracy divided into Bolshevik (meaning "majority") and Menshevik (meaning "minority") factions.
Lenin, the leader of the Bolsheviks, argued that a revolutionary party should be a well-knit vanguard party with a centralized political command and a strict cadre policy; the Menshevik faction, however, argued that the party should be a broad-based mass movement. The Bolshevik party, which eventually became the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, took power in Russia after the October Revolution in 1917. With the creation of the Communist International, the Leninist concept of party building was copied by emerging communist parties worldwide.
There currently exist hundreds of communist parties throughout the world. Their success rates vary widely: some are growing; others are in decline. In three countries, Republic of Cuba; People's Republic of China; and Socialist Republic of Vietnam, communist parties retain dominance over the state. See the List of communist parties for details on the communist parties of today.
The Chinese Communist Party is the world's largest political party,[2] claiming nearly 78 million members[3] at the end of 2009 which constitutes about 5.6% of the total population of mainland China.

Mass organizations[edit]
As the membership of a communist party was to be limited to active cadres, there was a need for networks of separate organizations to mobilize mass support for the party. Typically communist parties have built up various front organizations, whose membership is often open to non-communists. In many countries the single most important front organization of the communist parties has been its youth wing. During the time of the Communist International the youth leagues were explicit communist organizations, using the name 'Young Communist League'. Later the youth league concept was broadened in many countries, and names like 'Democratic Youth League' were adopted.
Other organizations often connected to communist parties includes trade unions, student, women's, peasant's and cultural organizations. Traditionally these mass organizations were politically subordinated to the political leadership of the party. However, in many contemporary cases mass organizations founded by communists have acquired a certain degree of independence. In some cases mass organizations have outlived the communist parties in question.
At the international level, the Communist International organized various international front organizations (linking national mass organizations with each other), such as the Young Communist International, Profintern, Krestintern, International Red Aid, Sportintern, etc.. These organizations were dissolved in the process of deconstruction of the Communist International. After the Second World War new international coordination bodies were created, such as the World Federation of Democratic Youth, International Union of Students, World Federation of Trade Unions, Women's International Democratic Federation and the World Peace Council.
Historically, in countries where Communist Parties were struggling to attain state power, the formation of wartime alliances with non-communist parties and wartime groups was enacted (such as the National Liberation Front of Albania). Upon attaining state power these Fronts were often transformed into nominal (and usually electoral) "National" or "Fatherland" Fronts in which non-communist parties and organizations were given token representation (a practice known as Blockpartei), the most popular examples of these being the National Front of East Germany (as a historical example) and the United Front of the People's Republic of China (as a modern-day example). Other times the formation of such Fronts were undertaken without the participation of other parties, such as the Socialist Alliance of Working People of Yugoslavia and the National Front of Afghanistan, though the purpose was the same: to promote the Communist Party line to generally non-communist audiences and to mobilize them to carry out tasks within the country under the aegis of the Front.
A uniform naming scheme for communist parties was adopted by the Communist International. All parties were required to use the name 'Communist Party of (name of country)'. Today, there are plenty of cases where the old sections of the Communist International have retained those names. In other cases names have been changed. Common causes for the shift in naming were either moves to avoid state repression[1] or as measures to indicate a broader political acceptance.
A typical example of the latter was the renamings of various East European communist parties after the Second World War, as staged 'mergers' of the local Social Democratic parties occurred.[2] New names in the post-war era included 'Socialist Party', 'Socialist Unity Party', 'Popular Party', 'Workers Party' and 'Party of Labour'.
The naming conventions of communist parties became more diverse as the international communist movement was fragmented due to the Sino-Soviet split in the 1960s. Those who sided with China and/or Albania in their criticism of the Soviet leadership, often added words like 'Revolutionary' or 'Marxist-Leninist' to distinguish themselves from the pro-Soviet parties.
- ^ One such example is the Swiss Party of Labour, which was founded in 1944 to substitute the illegalized Communist Party of Switzerland.
- ^ Such mergers occurred in East Germany (Socialist Unity Party of Germany), Hungary (Hungarian Working People's Party), Poland (Polish United Workers Party) and Romania (Romanian Workers Party).
Congolese Party of Labour[edit]
Why is not Congolese Party of Labour at the lists? It was a ruling marxist-leninist party in Republic of Congo until 1990, but today it is a socialist party working in opposition. --22.214.171.124 (talk) 21:25, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
- Congolese party of labour added to the List of formerly ruling parties. --Plamen (talk) 13:09, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
- The Congolese Party of Labour is not in the opposition, it is currently the ruling party and has been so since the Republic of the Congo Civil War in 1997. Charles Essie (talk) 19:35, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
Trotskyist organizations[edit]
It says in the lead section that Trotskyist parties are not included in the listing, but why is that? Trotskyists are communists too, and they have communist parties so they should be included. Charles Essie (talk) 19:39, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
- Well, the definition of a Communist Party is not just a party whose members are communists. There is a distinct meaning, in terms of historical legacy, political culture and organizational structure. The Trotskyists have other forms of political organizations, and thus place themselves outside the scope of the listing. --Soman (talk) 20:21, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
- In that case this article should be renamed "List of communist organizations," because there is no excuse for the Trotskyists not to be included. Charles Essie (talk) 03:08, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
- Such a listing would be much less useful, and au contraire we should have more clear demarkation to have a listing representing the mainstream of the world communist movement. --Soman (talk) 06:59, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
- I think not all Trotskyist parties are communist parties,some difine itself as democratic socialist party such as almost branches of CWI,but,some should be listed are like Workers' Communist Party (Italy).南天星斗 (talk) 09:23, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
- I think that's a fair compromise. Charles Essie (talk) 23:35, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
- I really agree that Trotskyists should be included in this list. Te og kaker (talk) 16:15, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
- Left communist parties should also be on the list. Charles Essie (talk) 00:08, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
- Many Trotskyist organizations don't label "communist" to themselves. See List of Trotskyist organizations by country and List of Left communist organizations by country. AsharaDayne (talk) 10:41, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
- I agree that Trotskyist parties should be excluded because the list is long enough and there are many Trotskyist parties, to many to put on the same list as all other communist parties. I also don't think Juceist parties should be included because they aren't really Comunists. I don't think that Anarho-Communists and Left Communists should be excluded because neither of those probems are present with last two group. Groups such as the Guyanese People's Progressive Party that are oficialy communist but actually aren't should either be excluded or have some sort of citation showing their not really communist TURTLOS (talk) 06:01, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Movement of Popular Participation[edit]
Is Movement of Popular Participation in Uruguay belong to communist party? 南天星斗 (talk) 15:45, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
Chaotic list[edit]
I find this list somewhat chaotic. It does not seem to consist a logical system. Not every organization listed is actually a party (such as some "leagues" or "unions"), so a change of lemma might be advisable. Also it may be useful to add a sorting by ideological tendencies and international affiliations by inserting the information into a sortable table. --Partisan1917 20:05, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- I think it is not necessary for the time being, because the list is still incomplete now. 南天星斗 (talk) 03:21, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
CPs of The Baltic states[edit]
Does these parties still exist, include CP of Estonia, CP of Latvia and CP of Lithuania? 南天星斗 (talk) 03:13, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
- They are illegal since August coup. In Latvia an ersatz organization named Socialist Party of Latvia exists with MPs and with an orthodox Marxist-Leninist ideology. As far as I know, no Communist party (I mean, not even one with a dozen members) exists in Lithuania or Estonia.Lokalkosmopolit (talk) 15:47, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
Workers' Party of Korea should still be considered Communist[edit]
DPRK's state ideology is not altogether a repudiation of Communism and does not differ much from Stalinist Russia and pre-1979 China in matters of policy. If anything, it can be considered a further evolution of the Leninist-Stalinist-Maoist tradition. Each successive development in this line of quasi-religious ideologies saw the elevation of the newer prophet to greater heights, along with the increasing marginalization of his predecessors, where they were successively whittled down to ensure that nothing in Leninism contradicting Stalinism be allowed,and nothing in Stalinism contradicting Maoism be allowed, and so forth. During the cultural revolution it was said that the study of "Mao Zedong thought" should amount to 95% of the study of the Marxist Canon as a whole. Juche just raises its own quota to 100%.
To be sure, purist Trotskyist sects (and equally purist "Anti-Revisionist" cults) will refuse to accept that the WPK is Communist. But, if the issue of who is to be considered "Communist" were left to them, then they would exclude everybody but themselves. Political organizations are rightly categorized by what their ideology amounts to, rather than by self-identification (and in this case even judgment by self-identification is less than conclusive as the WPK has not explicitly declared itself non-communist). If we were to go solely by self-identification, then the DPRK would be "democratic" and a "republic" as well.
The efforts by the first-world radical left to disown North Korea, and even label it "right-wing" is cute- but quite dishonest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 21:35, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
- You are on the slippery slope. If every party that has evolved from communist idea or party is considered to be a communist party, then many social-democratic parties in post-socialist states would also be considered to be a communist parties (and only far-right folk considers them as such). It doesn't matter from what has party evolved, what kind of symbols does it use or what's its name (although, again, those things are apparently very important to right-leaning people). What matters is whether a party acts like a communist party (duck test), regardless of its past, colors, symbols and name.
- If all those irrelevant things are ignored, WPK indeed seems to have more in common with far-right parties then with communist parties. --188.8.131.52 (talk) 07:28, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
- ″WPK indeed seems to have more in common with far-right parties then with communist parties″ No. North Korea is the sole remaining rigid centrally planned socialist economy. I know, there are people who like to point to Juche and nationalism as a 'proof' of the alleged far-right nature of the North Korean regime, however, this is still a minor facet, given that Khmer Rouge and Romania under Ceausescu were also highly nationalistic, while no-one considered them as far-right.Lokalkosmopolit (talk) 15:51, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
- Also, one cannot deny that until the collapse of the Communist bloc, the USSR considered North Korea a socialist country and the WPK as one of the communist and workers parties of the world. It seems the party is recognized as such by other communist parties today as well: Workers'_Party_of_Korea#Ideology. Lokalkosmopolit (talk) 15:56, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
- WPK's political position is controversial at best. There are notable people, and some academics among them, such as Professor Brian Reynolds Myers, who consider WPK to occupy the far-right part of the political spectrum. As mentioned before, party's past, symbols and name (and even how are others calling it) doesn't matter when determining its political position. Only thing that matters is party's current practice, which in case of WPK is more reminiscent to what the far-right parties (would) do than anything else.
- Also, centrally planed economy does not equal socialism, although planed economy (not necessarily centrally) is used by socialism to some degree, but it is understandable that this would all look the same to someone who uses the name "commies" for people with different opinions on that kind of topic.
- But all of that doesn't really matter for the article, because it borders being original research. What matters is what reliable sources say and according to them, WPK is also being considered as far-right party by many of those who bothered to think about it. However, since this view doesn't have wide enough acceptance (yet), it would be the best to consider its political position to be a controversial issue rather than being well defined.
- Therefore, WPK shouldn't be in the list of far-left parties or far-right parties, because there is currently no academic consensus where it belongs. --18.104.22.168 (talk) 09:14, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
- One, two or three fringe authors do not invalidate the facts that 1) most noncommunists consider WPK as communist 2) most communists consider it as communist, as evident by articles such as Pyongyang Declaration and International Meeting of Communist and Workers' Parties. It is a fringe group of authors that don't consider North Korea as socialist/communist at all. A minority within a minority so to say. Throughout the 20th century, communists of all tendencies typically accused their opposing communist sects of not being the 'real communists' and of being 'fascists' instead. One of the earliest examples of this ridiculous theory was promoted by Trotsky who claimed that Stalin was not a real communist at all.
The fact is, that mainstream communists always considered North Korea as a good member of the socialist bloc. There were other somewhat heretical regimes in the Socialist bloc, too, such as Romania under Ceausescu that used nationalist rhetoric just as much as North Korea's 'beloved' leaders too. What's the relevance?
It's communists themselves that argue the distinction between the 'base' (economy) and 'superstructure' (ideology/government). Based on this, North Korea is a typical socialist economy. The most orthodox socialist economy that we still have. The real motivation why some (very few) leftists advance the view that 'NK is actually fascist' theory is that they are simply so ashamed of what socialism really looks like in practice and in the usual lefty manner discard it as 'not real socialism'. Typical scholastic trick known from Trotsky's times. According to this brilliant logic, some compassionate leftist can argue that Stalin was also far-right and fascist. Because the similarities between Stalin and the North Korean monsters are striking. Lokalkosmopolit (talk) 16:39, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

- Your claim is strongly emotional. I can say "Some left wing radicals often dont want to call it communist to de-demonise communism. so it is extremely biased not to call North Korea communist, or even to call it right wing dictatorship". The truth is that WPC still participates in International Communist movement, is historically deeply rooted in communism and still keeps references to socialism and aknowledges its respect towards communism. Bests Ventic (talk) 14:53, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
- Workers' Party of Korea isn't considered as communist party now.[1] North Korea has removed all references to Marxism–Leninism and communism in general in its constitution and replaced its state ideology with Juche, and the ideology of the Workers' Party of Korea being Kimilsungism–Kimjongilism which resemble more of a far-right feudalism than a far-left Stalinism. what a laugh! in NK, your so-called communist state, you can't read the books of Marx and Lenin.AsharaDayne (talk) 12:15, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

Map proposal[edit]
Perhaps a map, such as one in the Pirate Parties International article, showing where a communist party is registered, won elected posts, etc., would be a nice addition to this article. --22.214.171.124 (talk) 07:31, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
capitalization of Communist or communist[edit]
The article title says "communist", the article text says "Communist party" but it also says "communist Third International". I think most instanced of "Communist" should be changed to "communist" when they don't refer to a particular political party. I know my communist comrades maintain that "Communist" must refer to a specific vanguard organization and "communist" must refer to our general political theory. The article also says "Left communist", shouldn't this be changed to "left communist"? It also says "Modern (Non ruling)" but later "Defunct (non-ruling)" shouldn't we change "Non ruling" to "non-ruling"? It also refers to the Soviet CP in the lead while linking to Soviet Union, and also refers to the Chinese CP without linking anywhere. So, it looks like there is potential for improvement here. I'll make some changes, if you disagree just discuss ok? Χρυσάνθη Λυκούση (talk) 02:12, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
North Cyprus[edit]
The party provided for North Cyprus is actually a social democratic party in the Republic of Cyprus. As far as i know it has no participation in politics in the north. There is a communist party in the North but im 100% sure its not EDEK. Lefterisg9 (talk) 19:55, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
Dispute over inclusion/classification of certain parties[edit]
I've noticed that User:南天星斗 appears to be engaging in edit-warring behavior, removing and reclassifying certain parties in the list and persistently undoing other editors' reversions. In the interest of assuming good faith, following the three-revert rule and attempting to achieve consensus on this issue I'd like to invite them to justify their recent edits here and discuss the issues they attempted to boldly address regarding the inclusion or classification of certain parties in the list.

WPK and communism[edit]
The topic (discussed already here) may be a bit controversial, because there's no clear statement what communism is and some groups like anarcho-communism, juche or even social-democracy have a lot in common and belong to wide family of communist and far left movement. Because of that it should be at least mentionned here with corresponding links.
With the WPK the situation is a bit more complicated, because of unclear statements of North Korean government over it. For example NK economy has more in common with communism than Chinese or Vietnamese. On the other hand Juche is often shown as a separate movement (to make the personality cult stronger), even if it is just a specific modification of marxism-leninism-stalinism-maoism. For majority it is still communist.
Saying that it's not communist but rather far-right feudal state is fake though. It depends on what perspective you have. For Trocki all communist states became nationalist and he didn't accepted them as communist. For some China is not communist in reality because of its quasi-capitalist economy and weak social support. What's more Marks and Engels already in their manifesto declared that there's only tiny difference between nationalism and communism. Racial and national policies were applied at some level in nearly every communist country. For example in Romania, Poland, Soviet Union, China (Tibet or Uyghur areas), Czechoslovakia, GDR.
The changes in NK's constitution and WPK's statute are recent, and many « demonisation » arguments are in this context just illusoric.

Unclear infromation[edit]
In what regard do the communist parties of Israel, Russia and Palestine count as ruling parties, the links to the ruling coalition beside each of these parties brings up the national Legislatures of the nations. Also i think that the People's Victory Party in Uruguay should be added next to the communist party of Uruguay under (Communist parties as ruling parties or part of ruling coalition in multi-party states), altough it is aligned to some anarchist movements and may have been anarcho-communist in the past it isn't technically anarchist anymore and thus should be added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TURTLOS (talk • contribs) 10:51, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

I am a bit new to d3.js, but I'm having quite a bit of fun with it. So far, I have implemented a force-directed graph that is very close to many of the examples and tutorials out there.
Direct Concern
Like many of the examples, I have a JSON structure like this:
{"nodes": ["node1", "node2", ... ],
"links": [{source: 0, target: 1, "field1": 5, ...}, ... ]}
However, I think that it would be easier to construct my data sources like this:
{"links": [
{source: "node1", target: "node2", "field1": 5, ...},
{source: "node2", target: "node4", "field1": 1, ...},
{source: "node3", target: "node4", "field1": 8, ...}
Instead of explicitly defining the nodes in my graph, they are implicitly defined in the link structures.
The Reason
I wanted to list the eventual goal of the project in case someone had some specific example code or idiomatic way of doing this of which I am unaware.
The goal for the project would eventually be a graph that is updating in real-time. The back-end is being developed and is subject to some change and revision.
At the moment, I'm imagining pulling down an update JSON feed every X seconds and updating the structure of that graph with the new information. The pulled feed would only contain the updated structures of the graph, so the script would need to maintain the all of the already pulled nodes and links and add any new ones, if necessary.
I apologize if this has been asked before. I did some searching and didn't find anything. Feel free to insult and berate me if I missed it.

Isotopic ages from the eastern ghats and cuddapahs of India
Rubidium-strontium and potassium-argon dating of whole rocks and separated biotites from charnockites and granites of the Eastern Ghats delineate two episodes after the culmination of the Eastern Ghats orogeny 1600 m.y. ago: (1) emplacement of charnockites and granites 1300 to 1520 m.y. ago and (2) their subsequent metamorphism and uplift 500 m.y. ago (postdating the deposition of the Cuddapahs). The 500-m.y. cycle is represented in the southwest coast of India (Travancore) and Ceylon, and the age data are consistent with structural and other geological evidence. Whole-rock K-Ar ages of five dolerites emplaced in the Lower Cuddapahs in the western part of the Cuddapah Basin, and of two slates of the Cumbum stage of the Nallamalai series, permit the dating of the following events in the history of the Cuddapah Basin: (1) the initiation of the Cuddapah sedimentation sometime after the completion of the Eastern Ghats orogeny (1600 m.y. ago), but before 1160 m.y. ago (minimum age limit for dolerites), and (2) metamorphism of the Cuddapahs about 500 m.y. ago (as indicated by the slate ages).

|Bruins lead Lightning, 2-0, after one
|12.02.10 at 7:46 pm ET
It may be Marc Savard's season debut, but after a period, the Bruins have another center and a wacky play to thank for their 2-0 lead over the Lightning.
David Krejci took a pass from Milan Lucic at the blue line, flew past a defender and fired a wrist shot past Lightning goaltender Mike Smith at 10:52. It was his third goal of the season and first since Oct. 30. Dennis Seidenberg puked up first goal tally of the season thanks to a lazy shot gone awry from center ice. Smith misplayed the puck to allow the odd goal with 20 seconds left in the period.
Tim Thomas kept up the impressive play that shut out the Flyers a night earlier, as he stopped all 15 of the Lightning's shots in the first period. He did allow Tampa Bay an opportunity on a big rebound when he was out of position, but Steven Stamkos' line was unable to capitalize on it.
Savard got a standing ovation when he took his first shift of the night, and was once again recognized on the jumbotron during a timeout.
Both teams are 0-for-1 on the power play. The Lightning are outshooting the B's, 15-9.
|Jordan Caron and David Krejci return to Bruins' practice
|11.29.10 at 1:40 pm ET
WILMINGTON — The Bruins wrapped up practice at Ristuccia Arena on Monday with some familiar faces back on the ice. David Krejci and Jordan Caron, both of whom were held out of Sunday's loss to the Thrashers with the flu, made their returns to the ice. Caron missed two games with the flu, while Marco Sturm, recovering from a torn ACL and MCL, also caught it but was back on the ice Monday.
Claude Julien was not at practice, as he was attending the memorial services of former NHL coach Pat Burns.
|David Krejci and Jordan Caron expected to miss Sunday's game vs. Thrashers
|11.28.10 at 3:28 pm ET
Bruins center David Krejci, who was held out of Saturday's practice with the flu and was not on the team flight to Atlanta, will not play on Sunday vs. the Thrashers, according to multiple reports. Claude Julien had left open the possibility of Krejci or Jordan Caron, also out with the flu, potentially meeting the team in Atlanta, but neither ended up travelling, according to the Boston Globe. Sunday's game will be the second straight contest Caron has missed, as he was kept out of Friday's 3-0 loss to the Hurricanes after getting sick on Thursday.
With the two out, Jamie Arniel will make his NHL debut. Arniel was recalled on an emergency basis on Saturday. In 19 games this season, the 21-year-old Arniel has nine goals and seven assists, leading the Providence Bruins with 16 points.
|Bruins recall Jamie Arniel on emergency basis
|11.27.10 at 2:39 pm ET
With Jordan Caron and David Krejci missing Saturday's practice with the flu, the Bruins announced Saturday that they have recalled Jamie Arniel from Providence on an emergency basis. It's the second time this month that Arniel has been called up, as he was summoned in early November when Michael Ryder missed practice. Here's the press release:
BOSTON, MA – Boston Bruins General Manager Peter Chiarelli announced today that the club has recalled forward Jamie Arniel from the Providence Bruins on an emergency basis (American Hockey League). Arniel will join the club on the trip to Atlanta and be available for the Bruins game against the Thrashers on Sunday, November 28.
This is Arniel's second recall to Boston, he was recalled on Tuesday, November 9 and was a healthy scratch in the team's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday, November 10.
The 21-year-old Arniel has appeared in 19 games this season for Providence, and leads the team in points and goals with 9-7=16 totals.
Arniel completed his first full pro season with the Providence Bruins in 2009-10, with 12-16=28 totals in 67 games. He won the club's Rookie of the Year award and led all P-Bruins first-year players in scoring and
The Kingston, Ontario native was drafted by Boston in the fourth round (97th overall) of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft.
|Jordan Caron and David Krejci won't travel with Bruins
|at 12:50 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Jordan Caron and David Krejci, both of whom were missing from Saturday's practice with the flu, will not travel with the Bruins as they head to Atlanta for Sunday's game vs. the Thrashers. In delivering the news, Claude Julien added that the two could join the team if they felt better, but that the team will have to consider calling somebody up from Providence should neither player be good to go.
Julien added that Marco Sturm also has the flu, which was why he was kept out of practice. Caron has been sick since Thursday and did not play in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Hurricanes.
WILMINGTON — The Bruins were without Jordan Caron's services in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Hurricanes due to the 20-year-old winger's case of the flu. He was missing again at the onset of Saturday's practice at Ristuccia Arena. David Krejci was also kept out with the flu, with Marco Sturm the only other missing Bruin. Here's a look at the forward lines lines:
Lucic – Bergeron – Horton
Seguin- Wheeler – Recchi
Paille – Savard – Ryder
Marchand – Campbell – Thornton
|David Krejci returns to Bruins lineup vs. Kings
|11.20.10 at 7:01 pm ET
After warming up with the team and skating with regular linemates Milan Lucic and Nathan Horton, Bruins center David Krejci appears set to make his return to the B's lineup on Saturday night against the Kings. Krejci has missed the last six games with a concussion suffered on Nov. 6 in overtime against the Blues. In 11 games this season, Krejci has two goals and eight assists, good for 10 points.
The Bruins appeared to keep Blake Wheeler at center in warmups, but on the third line, meaning the move to wing may have finally come for rookie Tyler Seguin. Here's what the lines looked like:
Lucic – Krejci – Horton
Caron- Bergeron – Recchi
Seguin – Wheeler – Ryder
Marchand – Campbell – Thornton
Chara – Ference

FORT RILEY – The fifth grade students at Ware Elementary will experience one of the first of many milestones this year on Friday, November 18 at 2:00 p.m. when they graduate from the D.A.R.E. program.
The students have been participating in the program since the beginning of the year and at the ceremony the students will be congratulated on successfully completing the program by Jerry Tenbrink, State D.A.R.E. Coordinator. Mr. Tenbrink will also introduce the four students who had the best essay, which was the final step in the program. The students are currently writing essays explaining their goals in life and how they can be achieved by being drug free. Worthy topics to contemplate as the fifth grade students begin the journey into their teenage age years which requires more self-reliance and self-confidence.
Of course this is exactly what the D.A.R.E. program aims to prepare students for. According to the D.A.R.E. website the primary mission is, "to provide children with the information and skills they need to live drug-and-violence-free lives." The program also aims to give students the, "tools that will enable them to avoid negative influences and instead, allow them to focus on their strengths and potential."
As fifth grade teacher Mr. Upham can attest, "the program gives the students the abilities to be better decision makers, which will help them now and in the future." It is proven, both at Ware Elementary and throughout the country that D.A.R.E. works. The website proudly states, "curriculum participants reported lower alcohol, marijuana, and cigarette use than students who did not receive the program."

The plugin works, but its customization options are too limited and it does not fully comply with the WordPress standards. The "minimum role" option seems to have the roles hardcoded; why not use the get_editable_roles() function for the roles, or better: use the WordPress standard. You should add a capability for managing the order (maybe even per post type) and allow it to be set per role. That's how to WP capability system works.
Also, it doesn't allow you to specify for which post types the functionality should be enabled, which is in my opinion the biggest missing feature.

Car is an electrical non-starter
Hoping Claudio or someone else is still around here and can help.
A few days ago turned the car off ... then, though it turns over fine it will not start. Seems electrical.
No voltage to fuse #17 (first checked the fuel pump, saw it did not have voltage, traced that to the fuse). Jumping voltage to #17 causes numerous relays to click (and the fuel pump to pump) but the car still will not start.
On the ignition switch getting voltage to all 3 green leads, violet lead, and black/yellow lead. However, the 2 small gauge leads do NOT have voltage in any key position. The wiring diagram simply calls these "NCA" - which is a mystery to me.
Could this be some quirk caused by the driveaway security system?

By Jane Gervasoni, U.S. Army Public Health Command (Provisional)March 17, 2011
A new milestone has been reached as the U.S. Army Public Health Command (Provisional) moves forward to full operational capability. The organization welcomed Command Sgt. Maj. Gerald C. Ecker at a change of responsibility ceremony conducted on March 17 at the Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md.
Ecker is the first command sergeant major to be assigned to USAPHC (Prov) or to the two organizations merging to form it, U.S. Army Veterinary Command and the former U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine. Previous senior enlisted advisors to those organizations have been sergeants major. VETCOM and the former USACHPPM have been integrating since October 2009 to strengthen the Army's public health capabilities, standardize public health practices across the Army, and partner more effectively with medical treatment facilities and installations.
"The Public Health Command is truly the best organization in the Army Medical Department," said outgoing Sgt. Maj. Osvaldo Ponzo as he spoke to ceremony attendees.
"I am leaving this organization in the capable hands of an innovative, combat-proven, senior noncommissioned officer who brings a vast experience to the USAPHC," he added. "Command Sergeant Major Ecker's leadership successes at the operational and organization level will greatly benefit this command as we strive towards FOC [full operational capability] while still delivering world-class public health and veterinary care services."
Ecker began his career as a medic assigned to an airborne infantry rifle platoon. He has just completed his fourth deployment and nearly 24 years of military service. He recalls teaching fellow platoon members that the best kind of medicine is the kind that does not have to be practiced, quoting an infantryman as saying, "The best kind of medicine is preventing casualties through superior firepower."
"I feel as if I am back on the front line, the tip of the spear, again. Yet, this time [I'm] jumping on a strategic drop zone," Ecker said.
"In many 'multidisciplinary' ways we are the kind of medicine that will provide the non-lethal (superior) firepower by getting out in front of adverse medical conditions that could potentially fill our theater combat support hospitals and stateside fixed facilities," he explained. "This is an exciting opportunity to serve an organization with great potential to influence goodness."
During Ecker's tenure, the USAPHC (Prov) is expected to reach full operational capability, targeted for Oct. 1. As the single point of accountability for public health, USAPHC has the mission to promote health and prevent disease, injury, and disability of Soldiers and military retirees, their families, and Department of the Army civilian employees; and assure effective execution of full spectrum veterinary service for Army and Department of Defense Veterinary missions.
Maximizing potential talents as leaders, Soldiers, scientists, providers, technicians, promoters and stewards of public health is part of Ecker's expectation for the command. He said he thinks everyone in the public health command can work smartly to create the conditions for a healthy balance of duty and family.
Communication is very important to Ecker. He is eager to learn about the organization, and he says that he appreciates professionalism and candor. "Let me know who you are and what you do," he said. "I want to know what you think."
"I cannot think of a better way to live life than to be afforded the opportunity to care for and influence those so dedicated to securing the principalities of freedom -truly the finest our country has ever offered. I am sincerely grateful and humbled to assume this position."

Skip to comments.Al Gore Wont Rule Out 2016 Run for President
Posted on 04/30/2014 1:59:11 PM PDT by kingattax
If you think Washington is scary now, consider this: Al Gore is not ruling out a 2016 run for president.
Al Gore 2000 was awful, proving himself willing to divide the country and put it through hell during his attempt to sue his way into the White House.
Al Gore 2016 would be many times worse. He would be a single-issue president, and that issue would be the total destruction of the economy in the name of the debunked global warming hoax.
(Excerpt) Read more at rightwingnews.com ...
Run Al! RUN!
STOP. Stop, my sides are hurting! Quit it!
Run? More like Roll
ManBearPig ALERT!!!!
Run Manbearpig, run!
Actually, that might be kinda' fun .... Air-brushed Dockers vs. Thunderthighs.
I would need a serious popcorn budget for Al Bore vs. the Hildebeast.
Go for it!
Yes! Yes! YES! Al, baby. It's your birthright man. Go for it! Don't let those Clinton's steal it from you again!
If only George Bush were here to whip his rear end by a wide margin...
If only George Bush were here to whip his rear end by a wide margin... /s
I don't even think the Democrats are THAT stupid.
He'll make the side show more fun to watch.
Almost but not quite Biblical proportions...
Another liar to join the fray...
Neither one could "run" for the office.
The best Hillary might be able to do with those cankles is to waddle.
Al would have to ooze like the slug that he is.
Weather pending.
"STOP. Stop, my sides are hurting! Quit it!"
Don't care who y'are that thar's funny!
Oh God....Just the thought of that voice....
Sorry about the size...
On the bright side, election eve will be known as the night of the great Election eve Blizzard of 2016 when conservatives braved the snow and cold to vote overwhelmingly against the Goron.
So now there's another party. Republican. Democrat. Libertarian. Fat and Sweaty.
Given the country's apparent willingness to tolerate monumental lies, corruption, the abuse of power, and general malfeasance, I'm not ruling out anything anymore. It seems the more unsuitable one is for holding high office, the greater the chance of being elected.
Gork is going to run again, along with PIAPs, Bidiot, and maybe Lurch. The Democrat lineup should be a hoot. Lie detectors will be shaking down the walls.
Selling your network for $1B to an muslim infiltrator. Yeah Al, that's really gong to go over well with mid America voters.
How did you cram all that ego into that tiny picture???
He's still married to Tipper, but is living with another woman. That will cause some trouble for him.
So if he wins, will Republicans be accused of fatism. What will the victim card be?
In before the "is this satire?"
Obligitory ping to Laz for "tits" being in the word.
Run please run!!!!!
"Weather pending."

You can never have enough crazed sex poodles in an American political primary.
Cray supercomputer.
He's just teasing with the TN people pre-committed to Lamar!
Seriously? Here is a clue.. Just shut up and go away.
AH! A Cray-in image!
You can never have enough crazed sex poodles in an American political primary.
You think he's forgotten about the Crazed Sex Poodle Days ?
Bring your best game Al Jazeera Al!!
I hope he's made enough money now to fix his rotting teeth!
Now that we know the whole Al Gore story, if he were to run, the results would be Mondale-like...
Well he does have a lot more weight behind him this time!

Amy Smith's optimism she will soon get her sons back soured last week after a Canadian judge imposed more fines against her.
Even though the case is scheduled to be heard June 18 under the Hague Treaty, an international child-abduction law, an Ontario judge last week fined Smith $8,528.63 in "full in indemnity costs."
Artist Marie Kasper's painting of Calabash shrimp boats is "best of show" winner in the Waterway Art Association's 19th Annual Art Exhibition now under way through Memorial Day.
This past Monday, Kasper's acrylic painting, "Calabash Village Shrimp Boats," also became a purchase award when it was bought by Carolina Bluewater Construction.
CAROLINA SHORES—Based on information board members have given a Beacon reporter, a North Carolina press attorney believes the town violated open meetings law when it fired its assistant town administrator.
By failing to approve the termination of Amanda Chestnut in open session, commissioners took illegal and improper action, and therefore it's not valid, said NCPA attorney Amanda Martin.
Members of the Brunswick County Tourism Development Authority have received a $1 million budget proposal for 2010-2011 and plan to vote on the "very conservative" spending plan at their June 22 meeting.
At Tuesday's regular authority meeting, TDA executive director Mitzi York and Todd Smith of Smith Advertising, the authority's contracted ad agency, presented a "strategic overview" of the proposal.
While 8 percent of Brunswick County students are eligible for the district's Academically or Intellectually Gifted (AIG) Program, school officials believe the actual number is much higher.
Connie Enis, curriculum coordinator for Brunswick County Schools, said identifying eligible students will be a major focus within the next year "so we can try to be as diverse as possible with our diverse student populations in our county."
The Exceptional Children (EC) program is monitored by state officials, who examine 15 quality indicators yearly.
"They set targets for districts to attain, and districts must make sure they make progress to meet goals," Jessica Swencki, director of Brunswick County Schools' EC program, said.
The Brunswick County Motorcycle Enthusiasts have scheduled their Spring Toy Run for Saturday, June 5, to raise money and gain participants for the Christmas Toy Run, which provides Christmas presents for needy children.
This will be the event's 18th year, organizer Jerome Munna said, and it's a way for motorcyclists and classic car buffs to participate in a fun event while also raising money for a good cause.
Reward money for anyone with information about the sea turtle babies that were stolen from their nest last August on Ocean Isle Beach is set to expire, and officials are still seeking for answers and additional information about the crime.
Gloria Hillenburg, coordinator of the Ocean Isle Beach Turtle Patrol, said there have been no calls, tips or information about last summer's incident. Members of the Turtle Patrol noticed a nest at West First Street had been disturbed during a daily check at about 7 a.m.
Sunday night's final episode of the series "Lost" was one of those TV milestones destined to go down in history—a finale that attempted to tie up all the mysterious show's loose ends.
Michele Johnson of Sunset Beach began watching the popular show the first season, and although she stopped keeping up a couple of seasons ago, she looked forward to the finale to find out how it was going to end.
HOLDEN BEACH—When renters re-arrange furniture in beach houses, move couches onto the strand or even change a car engine underneath a rental house, Debbie Dallas, maintenance and housekeeping supervisor for Alan Holden Vacations, takes it in stride.
After 10 years of taking charge of 300 beach houses on the island, she's seen it all—from renters so concerned about returning the following year they send back forks taken by mistake to visitors who take the rental home's mattresses and replace them with their old ones.

Talk about shocking. Ken Yager, a former Manitou Springs deputy fire chief knows all too well the damage an electrical fire can cause.
He couldn't believe it when his nephew called and told him his 7-year-old Whirlpool refrigerator started smoking and sparking... and then actually caught on fire. Thankfully the fire never spread and no one was hurt.
Ken says, "It's scary. It's scary to think he could have not woke up and it could've went ahead and burst into flames."
Ken says he was surprised to learn his Whirlpool top-freezer refrigerator had not been recalled, but a similar model made by sister company Maytag had been... for what seemed to be the same problem.
In fact, Consumer Reports says 1.6 million defective refrigerators were recalled because of an electrical failure. A relay in the back of the unit can reportedly get too hot and catch on fire.
Ken had a certified repairman look at his refrigerator and says he was told his relay was defective and was indeed the cause of the fire.
He called Whirlpool and the Consumer Product Safety Commission to report what had happened... hoping a warning would be issued for his refrigerator.
Ken says he was surprised how Whirlpool responded.... knowing it's one of the largest makers of appliances in the U.S.
Ken says, "It was like she just didn't care. I asked her, I said what if the house had caught on fire or my nephew had died in the fire and she said... well, then we would've taken responsibility for it. I thought this could happen to somebody else, so I thought I'll call you guys."
Our Call For Action volunteer Rhonda got involved and soon Ken received a call from another Whirlpool rep.
Some 22 days later his old refrigerator was hauled away and Whirlpool delivered a new one. This model is larger and has no history of trouble.
Ken adds, "I want the public to be aware that there's a problem out there with Whirlpool."
Ken did the right thing by reporting the fire to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. It can take action.
When I asked Whirlpool if it had received similar complaints on the top-freezer refrigerator... I was told no further information could be shared at this time.
The best advice before you buy a major appliance like a refrigerator... check its record. Consumer Reports found the Maytag was among the most repair-prone brands out there. We'll keep you posted.

MSNBC's Cenk Uygur Assails Hateful Conservatives Who Opposed Women and Blacks
MSNBC News Live guest host Cenk Uygur on Wednesday railed against opposition
to gay marriage, asserting that conservatives "fought against women's rights
and they lost. They fought against civil rights for blacks and they lost."
He also touted the supposed moral superiority of liberals, lecturing, "This
country is fundamentally progressive." [MP3
audio here.]
To bolster this case, Uygur quoted Marting Luther King: "'Cause as a very smart man once said in the middle of another civil rights battle, 'The arc of history bends towards justice.'" Yet, liberals hardly have a spotless record when it comes to human rights.
In 1972, Jane Fonda famously parroted communist propaganda while sitting on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun. Many progressives have also fawned over the communist murderer Che Guevara.
-Scott Whitlock is a news analyst for the Media Research Center. Click here to follow him on Twitter.
CENK UYGUR: Now, look, let's go to "My Take." Will there be gay marriage all across the country one day? Of course there will. Hear me now. Quote me later. It is inevitable. 'Cause as a very smart man once said in the middle of another civil rights battle, "The arc of history bends towards justice." This country is fundamentally progressive.
When our founding fathers started a revolution for the idea of self-rule and democracy, it was arguably the single most progressive act in history. Conservatives fought against women's rights and they lost. They fought against civil rights for blacks and they lost.
They're fighting against gay rights and they will lose, because this country believes in progress and human rights. That is what it's absolutely based on. So, we will go through this drama for some time more, but the final act is clear. And then looking back many years from now, Americans will shake their heads and say how could people have possibly thought that?
As they say now about people who fought against integration and a woman's right to vote. How could they have possibly thought that? And at some point, some conservatives will pretend they were never against it and that they've always been for equality for all.
And some of them might even pretend to be fans of famous gay rights crusaders like Harvey Milk as some now pretend to be big fans of Martin Luther King. We know better, but all of that will be irrelevant, because in the end there's only one thing that this country does with conservative ideas when they fight against progress, they throw them in the trash bin of history.

World War II vet's medals stolen from Vista home
VISTA, Calif. A wounded World War II veteran says someone stole his Purple Heart and other medals from his San Diego County home.
Eighty-eight-year-old Clyde Kellogg tells U-T San Diego that eight honors, including a Bronze Star and riflery medals, were stolen from the wall of an enclosed patio at his Vista home. He noticed them missing last Friday.
The patio door was locked but authorities say there were signs of a forced entry.
Kellogg was in the Marines when he was shot in the throat during the Battle of Guadalcanal and spent a year in various hospitals.
Kellogg says the theft has stolen a part of his life.

April 29, 2007 by Rob Newell
CONCORD, N.C. - Considering Lake Norman is not known as a big-fish lake, folks who turned out for the Wal-Mart FLW Tour National Guard Open final weigh-in Sunday got to see an afternoon full of big-fish surprises.
Three of the biggest limits of the tournament were weighed in by the sport's biggest stars.
For starters, local angler Hank Cherry, beginning the day in 10th, brought the hometown crowd to a roar with a one-by-one display of a Lake Norman limit weighing 15 pounds, 11 ounces.
Then popular Yamaha pro Jay Yelas brought an astounding 16 pounds, 6 ounces to the stage.
And for a few tense moments, it looked like Larry Nixon's lead might be in serious jeopardy.
But when it was Nixon turn at the scales, the General saved his heaviest artillery for last, blasting back his competition's healthy charge with his biggest limit of the week weighing 14 pounds, 7 ounces to win the event with a two-day total of 27 pounds.
This marks Nixon's third FLW Tour victory.
"Every win out here gets sweeter," Nixon said. "And I'll tell you why: Every year these young anglers get better and better. And every now again, an old fox like myself can still outsmart them. And when it happens, it's something to savor."
In terms of having his best day today, Nixon said he changed the order of places he was fishing to match the sun angle.
"I did a much better job of timing my water today," Nixon explained. "A big key for me was to have sun shining on the banks so I could read my water from a distance - see the objects and targets I wanted to fish from a long way off. The last few days I've been getting to my key stretches when it was too early and still too shady to see good. Today I finally got the timing down perfect, where the shade was clearing off the water, and the sun was exposing what I needed to see as I fished throughout the day."
Nixon was targeting stumps and lay-downs in 2 to3 feet of water about three miles above the 150 Bridge.
"Boat position was critical," he added. "These fish here are smart. When a boat gets too close to them, they just giggle at you. When it was shady, by the time I visually located my target, it was too late; I was too close. But with that sun out, I could stay way back, read my target and drop it in their hut."
Nixon's key bait was a green-pumpkin Berkley Wacky Crawler rigged on a 1/16-ounce shaky head, fished on spinning gear.
Yelas posts huge comeback for second
Jay Yelas of Tyler, Texas, gave the crowd a rush today as he weighed in the biggest limit of the tournament, bringing his two-day total to 23 pounds, 7 ounces and moving from ninth to second, worth $75,000.
"What a day," Yelas said, still elated with his catch. "I went out this morning with nothing to lose. So I stuck a swimbait in my hand and fished it all day long. I only got five bites - that's it - and they weighed 16-6.
"I was fishing a 6-inch soft-plastic, shad-imitation swimbait, Texas-rigged," he said. "And the reason I was Texas-rigging it was to skip it up under boat docks. I was using Trilene XT 17-pound-test and a heavy-action rod. Surprisingly, that big swimbait skips pretty good."
In terms of the way the fish bit the swimbait, Yelas said, "They don't really blast it or smash it. I saw most of my bites, and they just kind of swim up to it and eat it very casually. It's weird. You would figure it would be an aggressive bite, but it's not - at least not here."
Vatalaro finishes third
Vic Vatalaro of Kent, Ohio, brought in 12 pounds, 3 ounces today to finish third with a two-day total of 23 pounds worth $50,000.
"I had a better today simply because I went and got my limit early," he said. "I didn't do that yesterday, and it kind of messed me up. So today I went to an area and got a limit by about 9:30, and that let me relax and start culling up."
Vatalaro's key bait this week was a Fluke fished around docks and lay-downs.
"I was weighting the Fluke and fishing it on 8-pound-test Gamma line," he noted. "I was trying to get it down there about 5 feet deep to get those bigger spots to come up on it."
Cherry jumps to fourth
Local pro Hank Cherry of Maiden, N.C., finally got revenge on his fish that treated him dirty yesterday and gave his hometown crowd a show in the process.
Cherry's 15-pound, 11-ounce limit vaulted him from 10th to fourth.
"It felt good to get even with my fish today," Cherry said. "That's what I should have weighed in yesterday as well. They cost me about $160,000, but I got $40,000 for a week of fishing, so that's not too bad."
So what was the difference between yesterday and today?
"Just getting them in the boat - it's that simple. Yesterday I had 18 bites and only landed four. Today I had 23 bites and landed 23 of them. The first seven bass I caught this morning weighed 12 pounds, and I caught them in a matter of minutes.
"I could tell by the way the first one hit, it was going to be `game on' today. Yesterday they were just stabbing at the bait with their mouth closed - I could see them. Today they would inhale that jig - it was incredible."
Cherry's key bait was a 1/2-ounce Jymsu jig and chunk fish on 20-pound-test fluorocarbon.
"The object is to skip it as far back under the dock as you can get it," he added. "The harder the cast is to make, the better."
Suggs fifth
Folgers pro Scott Suggs of Bryant, Ark., finished fifth with a two-day total of 20 pounds, 4 ounces worth $30,000.
Today Suggs stuck with his plan of fishing stumps and docks with a 1/4-ounce shaky head, teamed with a Zoom Trick Worm.
"Stumps were more of the deal for me than docks," Suggs said. "If I soaked that worm next to a stump long enough, one would finally eat it."
