| History | |
| Formation | 19 February (official) |
The Australian Communist Party was founded by taytaz, Mouj, Scott Mitchell and jaxmoe. The party had been formed through a forum and uses a similar idea to that of Trotskyism (far-left libertarianism). It is also a place that communists from Russia came, to help establish a communist party in a country that was previously without one. On the 19th of February (Day 456 of the New World), it became an official party, with Taytaz as Party President.

Election History
February 2009 - The Debut
The Feb 09 Australian Senate elections were going to be a turning in Australian political history since independence due to having two new parties on the political stage. It was tipped that the new parties would draw votes away from the much fancied ADSP. After much debate within the party it was decided to put forward a total of four candidates. The ACPs election debut was an outstanding success with all four candidates winning seats. Both Mouj and Secularist in Victoria, Widdows9000 in NT and Party Chairman Taytaz in NSW.
March 2009 - A Set Back
After the 100% success rate in Feb many in the party felt more candidates should be put forward this time around. Nine party members put themselves forward however, due to a bug only eight were on the ballet, 3 in NT, 2 in Vic and 3 in NSW. The unfortunate ninth candidate was then sitting Senator Secularist for Vic. For a while it looked like the ACP could win three or four seats however the tide turned away from FallbackPants who narrowly missed out in NT. The end result for the party was only two members in the Senate, Taytaz (NSW) & Leon Alston (Vic).
June 2009
Under bobdebilde, the ACP had a brief resurgence in activity with 8 Senator being elected, however, this activity had died down by the end of June and the ACP failed to nominate a CP candidate on the 5th of July.
July 2009 - A resurgence
Garven Dreis was elected in July, and he aimed to increase the activity levels in the ACP. He changed the ACP Logo, managed to secure a recruitment base for new members. revived the ACP Organisation. He abandoned the old Seperate ACP Forums because they had fallen inactive and no-one had access to the Admin account. He abandoned this forums in favour for the internal ACP forums eAustralian forum. He also forged a good relationship with the ADSP PP in July, however, these broke down in September following the Prime Minister elections. Garven Dreis also aimed to, successfully, internalise ACP PP elections on the eAustralian forums.
August 2009
In the August elections a total of 9 ACP candidates had put themselves forward. The ACP was acting in tandem with the Australian Democratic Socialist Party (ADSP) and in order to get the most amount of seats possible for left-orientated parties, the states were split between the two parties. The ACP decided to run in Tasmania and Northern Territory, while ADSP took South Australia and Queensland. The two most populated states of NSW and Queensland were open for either party. Also, both parties were allowed to run one candidate in the other parties territories.
The election ended with 5/9 ACP candidates being elected (Garven Dreis, Johnathon Brown, Bobdebilde, Eddie Ruso and Dean Kong). Member Andrei1095 was also on track to being voted in until he was perma banned after the first few hours of the election.
September 2009
In the September elections a record high of 10 ACP candidates went forward. However only 4 candidates still made it into senate this month. In the term that followed 2 of our senators left, CookieAU and Randomface, so we were left with 2, Subwayy and Garven Dreis. In other news, Dean Kong, the party president, and Garven Dreis were approached by some Slovakian Communists who wanted to escape to eAustralia to escape persecution in their own country. After much deliberation, and background checks by the Department of Immigration, Customs and Security, they decided to allow them into their party. Also, the ACP was approached by the world-wide leftist group The Internationale into becoming a member.
October 2009 - A Slump
The first half of October saw a larger boost of activity in the forums, and plans for starting communes continued. However, Paul Hamon took over the inactive eLabor Party, and renamed it the Procreate and Populate Party . The PaPP's membership swelled rapidly, and before the Senate Elections came around had already overtaken the ACP's membership by nearly 15 members. This forced ACP members to run under different parties for Seante, mostly the AIP, but the only ACP member to get into senate at return to the ACP was Dean Kong, who got 2nd most votes overall in elections running under the ADSP. However PaPP membership continued to rise, and as of time of writing are sitting in 3rd place membership-wise, and closing in on the ANP, while ACP members dropped to below 60.
Party Logo
The ACP logo was designed by bobdebilde and is made up of the following elements;
- Federation/Commonwealth star, to represent the entire nation & lands of eAustralia.
- Hammer and Sickle in the centre of the star to represent Communism/Socialism.
- The Kangaroo & the Emu which are animals that can only move forward. They are holding up the the ACP star which represents Australia moving forward together with the Ideals of Socialism & Communism.
