This discussion goes about the question either we should call the politicians of the SP-party communists. The party of Jan Marijnissen is founded on Maoist-grounds. Under Marijnissen this withered away, but on the SP-website you can find the following citate in "Kernvisie SP" as a goal for the SP: "Het formuleren van fundamentele kritiek op de kapitalistische wereldorde" (In English: "criticize the capitalist world"). So why is it a point that we mark at least Marijnissen a communist (I know he is a Maoist but there isn't such a category). And since van Bommel is a member of the same party he approves the same principle. And the SP had contact with the Chinese authorities. I don't see your point, butI wont qaulify them as communist anymore. But I will reformulate the sentence and add it to the articles because it is essential for the party. It is a difference of opinion but it seems to me that I'm right. Besides of it, in the SP article on wiki English the SP is called a post-communist party.

Marijnissen is not a maoist anymore, nor is the SP a maoist party. Fundamental criticism of capitalism lies at the very foundation of socialism. Socialist Party (Netherlands) already amply discusses the party's roots. Qwertyus 00:33, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
