'''Republican cCommunism''' is a variant of [[republicanism]] that advocates independent communist states in countries such as [[Ireland]], [[Scotland]] and [[England]] .

The Republican mMovement itself has been historically large in Ireland for centuries and present but less dominant in Scotland. "Republican Communists" are usually more likely to describe themselves as Republican Socialists or Socialist Republicans and have advocated a mixture of republican policies (independence from England, [[equal rights]] and elected government) combined with [[Marxist-Leninist|Marxism-Leninism]] or Communist economics. They have always represented a minority faction in Irish and Scottish republican politics. [[James Connolly]], the Scottish born Irish Republican rebel, is often considered an ideological father of the movement.

Examples of Socialist Republican groups from Ireland are:

*[[Irish Citizens Army]] - a paramilitary organization formed by James Connolly which took part in the [[Easter Rising]] of 1916
*[[Irish Socialist Republican Party]] - a political party founded by James Connolly
