| Former socialist states |
|---|
| List of states |
|
Albania · Bulgaria · Czech Republic · Slovakia · Germany · Hungary · Mongolia · Poland · Romania · Former Soviet Union (Armenia · Azerbaijan · Belarus · Estonia · Georgia · Kazakhstan · Kyrgyzstan · Latvia · Lithuania · Moldova · Russia · Tajikistan · Turkmenistan · Ukraine · Uzbekistan) |
| Politics |
| Opinions of socialism · Reactionism (Eurasianism · National Bolshevism · Religion · Decommunization · Anti-communist propaganda · Banderism) · Western influence (NATO expansion · Color revolutions) |
| Issues |
| Demographic crisis · Economic issues · Poverty · Post-Soviet conflicts |
Don't put China or Cuba or whatever. Remember, "socialist state" is itself a contradiction in terms. The definition for states to be included here is open to some discussion, but the most logical one (to me) is "states which were influenced by the USSR and espoused revolutionary Marxist principles during the Cold War, but whose current form of government clearly repudiates any movement towards revolutionary proletarian socialism."
I think states like Mozambique, Angola, Afghanistan, Somalia, Grenada etc. are worth discussing. But I will leave them out for the time being.
The point of having such a template is to draw comparisons between the similarities in development of openly counterrevolutionary states from (East) Germany to Tajikistan, such as reactionary lumpen politics, severe underdevelopment, corruption, oligarchy, mass death, et cetera. Sectarian debate seems unnecessary for such a topic, although I of course will not be surprised if it happens.
