  1.  Bamsi Cerkutay  No, that would be the French. The term is derived from the word "commune" and the suffix "isme". You may want to add "authoritarian" to your description. Also, I would put a question mark after "progressive", because Xi has clearly put the country on a regressive course of late. But speaking of descriptions, the CCP explicitly describes itself as communist. Have CIA operatives infiltrated the party after all?
