Talk:World Communist Movement
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
i don't see whats the problem with the list. It is not arbitrary but factually important. The character of each party is discussed in the different articles linked, and i think that quite a good base for the list as such. --Soman 12:39, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- It needs to be an actual article about the contemporary World Communist Movement, and for the most part, with the exception of the very beginning, it isn't. Most of the article basically goes into the history of the world communist movement through the 20th century by listing (that's one big "ugh" factor right there) the relevant parties by decade. When you compare a format like that to the format of an actual encyclopedia article, the format pretty much all other major communism topics listed in the Communism box take, who can help but have a problem with how it's arranged? Originally, I was going to put a request for a complete rewrite of the whole thing, but that's not what this needs-- it just needs a whole hell of a lot of rearrangement, plus a lot of de-list-ifying. As it stands now, it's just so dry the way it is. And unclear/ambiguous, too. 71.125.169.243 18:59, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
- First of all, the current world communist movement cannot be explained without its historical backdrop. Secondly, I don't see the point with a History of the Communist Movement article, wouldn't that duplicate the History of Communism article? (which at this point only focuses on communist parties in governance). Thirdly, please specify exactly what is unclear or ambigous. --Soman 16:18, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
- Some explanation to recent edit on the article. To call WCM pro-Soviet would be factually incorrect today, as WCM still exists in the absence of the USSR. --Soman 16:19, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
