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

The Republican Movement itself has been historically large in Ireland for centuries and at 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, [[civil rights|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.
