Communist Party of Daidieu

The Communist Party of Daidieu (French: Parti communiste du Daidieu; PCD or CPD) was the founding and sole legal party of the People's Republic of Daidieu (PRD) a communist state located in Southeast Asia.

History
The CPD traces its origins to the Workers' Front of Dongbacqui, a communist underground organization dedicated to ending French rule in Daidieu in the 1920s to 1940s.

Founded in 1964 by Kim Nau Szi, the CPD was one of the major parties in the democratization of Daidieu in the mid-1960s. However, they lost the 1964 and 1968 elections due to fraud. Emperor Thang Cang was anti-communist, so he bribed many election officials to rewrite for-CPD ballots to for-NDP, an anti-communist and conservative party.

In 1972, Kim Nau Szi led the communists to power in the 1972 Dieuese coup d'etat. As they obtained power, the CPD also started to fund North Vietnamese troops and gureillas in the. Kim also started repressing opponents, with all National Democratic Party members or supporters targeted. Soon after, Daidieu became a military dictatorship, with opposition repressed and political oppenents jailed in what is known today as the Red Terror.

Within a few years, the economy of Daidieu was in shambles and many people were poor after Kim and the CPD tried to do a Dieuese. In the later years of the PRD, some CPD members tried to stop the oppression, but were executed or assassinated as a result. High-ranking member Pǎm Tụ̀ Twa̋n survived his assassination in 1978 and defected to the pro-democracy side.

After the Vietnamese and anti-communist Dieuese military overthrew the CPD in January 1979, the CPD was banned by the Reconstruction government. The new constitution stated that "It is forbidden to reorganize, under any form whatsoever, the dissolved communist party", and was upheld with the transition to democracy in 1986.
