Communist Party of Poland

The Communist Party of Poland was a political organization that supported communist ideas, advocating for a society where resources and means of production are collectively owned and controlled, aiming to eliminate capitalism. It played a significant role during the period when Poland was under communist rule, particularly after World War II, aligning with the Soviet Union's influence. The party promoted socialist policies, central planning, and a one-party state system. Following the fall of communism in 1989, the party's influence waned, and Poland transitioned toward a democratic, market-oriented system. Today, various small communist or socialist parties may exist, but none hold the ruling power.
