[edit] Forced membership
The membership was (almost?) obligatory. Even Party member believed that Comecon destroys their country because they had to help the SU. The Soviets believed they help the others. Everyone was happy when the Comecon collapsed. Your text is biased as hell. Quoting Communist documents has the same value like quoting Nazi propaganda. Xx236 10:49, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
- What an intelligent comment on your part. Bring proof then talk. No proof no talk.
[edit] Dating of the Article
The article seems to be a bit dated - I would guess it was written in 1988 at latest. It is as if history stops at 1987 if you rely on this article alone for accurate information, and putting Comecon as a current events entity and not something that is already history. Anyone who can overhaul this article to underlie a different perspective? --JNZ 08:17, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Names in languages of the member states
That list has Estonian in it, why? And if E. is seen as a language of the Soviet Union alongside Russian, then why not the other languages of the SU? 213.243.182.3 16:34, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
