Can anyone explain why this differs from other forms of communism? Is it just a European expression of communism, similar to Third Worldist movements, or are there legitimate differences and is it more like social democracy/democratic socialism (i.e. less authoritarian than Stalinism/Soviet communism).
In the interest of being honest I'm a conservative, but interested in learning about left wing ideologies. I want to understand why you guys are divided so much.

If that was the case it'd be nationalistic and specific. As it stands now eurocommieism is internationalist, globalist and cosmopolitanistic.

My understanding is that it was more willing to work with socialist parties, favored the ballot box over insurrection, and wasn't sycophantic to the Soviet Union.

Meme name for social democracy, it denies revolution and supports achieving socialism from the parliament.

In the absence of the Soviet Union, is it basically a dead term now?

Does it have any significant power in the EU?

Was it a political category to distance itself from Soviet communism, making it a dead term nowadays with social democracy taking the steps into democratic socialism?
