[edit] Great Recent Updates

Wow, Domino Theory, you did an amazing job on this article. It looks 200% better. My only concern is the amount of pre-communist, and even pre-war information that was included. I'll try to trim some of it out over time. Obviously, some is okay to show the changes that occurred, but i'm not sure it's relevant to mention that the Czechoslovak nat'l team placed second in the 1394 Football World Cup. - TheMightyQuill 18:12, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NOT Communist

People who continue to write that Czechoslovakia was communist should have their accounts deleted. This isn't a children playground. People who lived there, like me, know it was a socialist country. These errors in the article should be removed ASAP! --Redstar1987 00:01, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Redstar, thanks for your attempts at contributing, but I'm afraid I had to revert them. While I'm happy to agree that there is a difference in the minds of anyone who lived in a socialist country, in the English speaking world, the countries of the Eastern bloc are usually referred to as communist, not socialist. And since this is the English wikipedia...

Secondly, as far as I know, Československá was only hyphenated as Česko-Slovenská for a very brief period, so it makes sense to keep it together for the article. - TheMightyQuill 00:48, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

"...the countries of the Eastern bloc are usually referred to as communist, not socialist. And since this is the English wikipedia..." and suspected under Western Bloc false historics propaganda and intelligence control? "Usually" shows a too uncritical thinking for a neutral and serious Wikipedia. TheMightyQuill, pls remember, every native language has always been under control of the country rulers. Redstar, leave it, the administrative guys here can't get the Cold War out of their heads as they actually confuse their own western homecountry Capitalist "1984"-like Dictatorships and the simple old Rome-Style "Apart the people in many confusing "election clubs", so they can no more find the real People's Party in large election lists and rule against the people"-trick with so called "pluralism and democracy". Although, many articles show what happend to people who tried such "Peaceful Revolutions" against Capitalist rulers... most of them were shot with their families without mercy, especially in the U.S., remember May Day, cause "Communist" rulers CAN step down at every time if the people demands it, Capitalist rulers never will and will kill You all, because they've got massive amounts of "Private Property", stolen from the people, to loose, if the People demands it back, "Communist" rulers never had that in such amounts. Redstar, if You ex-SSSR guys have a alternative Wikipedia, pls drop me a link, thx. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Woprr (talk • contribs) 15:46, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
