For example, a similar study done of the Vietnamese and Laotian communist parties, or a book on communism in Africa, or communism in Eastern Europe, etc.
I'm already decently versed on communism, Marxist-Leninism, anarchism, and other left tendencies (in comparison with 99.5% of people who think communism means state-run economy and anarchism means no rules). I'm interested in how these ideologies have attemptedly been implemented by various groups throughout history, and the variations that emerged.
It's just interesting to see how the ideology becomes morphed; nobody even interprets/uses it the same way, even within one organization, and it's interesting to see what social conditions caused this seemingly esoteric, German (hence Western) ideology* to be embraced by so diverse peoples worldwide. I don't quite get how ultra-nationalist societies like Mao (where did that nong even hear of Marxism?) could get China to all of a sudden rally behind this very foreign conception of government, but that said I literally don't know shit. Hence this request.
*Now there exists a subdiscipline of Marxism called Western Marxism so perhaps Marxist scholars would have contention with me calling Marxism a western ideology. I'm curious.
You'll have to be a bit more specific for me to help.
There are literally dozens of books about the Bolshevik Party during its revolutionary phase (say, to the end of the Civil War) and probably countless more studies of the Cold War period. These cover a variety of approaches - from Cold Warriors through to Revisionists - and account for the regularly shifting role and operations of the party. And this is from a purely, party-based, institutional perspective, ie without looking at broader economic or cultural policies and contexts.
I can recommend some of the above if you want, for the early period, but it sounds like you'd be best served by a general history of the 1917 Revolution.
Huynh Kim Khanh's Vietnamese Communism is a good start. I'd also, with a few reservations, recommend the works of William Duiker. Paul Mus and John McAllister also may be of interest. These are just off the top of my head, so if you have a specific area of interest in the Lao or Viet communist movements, I can point you to sources with more specific content.
