Description:
The term 'komunfisa' is a direct borrowing of the word 'communism' with the -ism suffix replaced with the Common suffix '-fisa', 'belief', a common way of rendering words for ideologies in Common. It is the word the New World Order itself uses to refer to Communism and Communists, not the word that Communists themselves would use (see 'Xafenfisas'). The intention is both to try and be as technically accurate about historical communism as possible, and to 'other' modern comunism.
The derived forms 'komunfisas' and 'komunfisaka' mean 'communist' and 'a communist person', respectively. 'comunfisa' itself can be used as a pali verb meaning to be a communist.
