Talk:Communism in Poland

message: The text contains many factual errors. Kolakowski was 10 years old when the KPP was dissolved.
The majority of the post-war parties declared later they were Socialists or Liberals. 
The article doesn't discuss the basic problems of Polish Communism - independence of Poland (SDKPiL).

message: Shouldn't this article be called Polish Communism, as it is about parties/party-state (proper nouns) not political philosophy? BobFromBrockley 16:34, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It should be about both; and I don't see why the first use would merit capitalizing in any case?-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  18:14, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If it is about both, fine. My point is that proper nouns have capitals, and Communist as an adjective for the Communist Party is a proper noun and should therefore have a capital. (Whereas communist meaning a world without exploitation and property, which doesn't ahve that much to do with the Communist Party, is not a proper noun and therefore needs no capital.

replies: text: Ah, but this is not an official name for anything, as far as I know. The article could just as well exist under Communism in Poland.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  17:24, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I think the scope of this article should be expanded. I think it should focus on Polish socialism in general as opposed to being limited to communism. Polish Wikipedia already has such an article. Charles Essie (talk) 18:03, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Or we can create Socialism in Poland and keep this article for further detail on communism. It is not uncommon for some countries to have both articles in Wikipedia, assuming there is sufficient material for both. --MarioGom (talk) 18:22, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Perhaps, but this article is something of a stub. Unless it's expanded, I see know point in separate articles. Charles Essie (talk) 04:04, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Right. I see no problem in expanding to Socialism in Poland, if someone is willing to do that work, and just create again Comunist in Poland if there is enough content to split it out. Note that we would need to be careful with the move and avoid bots "fixing" the links to Communism in Poland, which should probably stay the same. I'm listing this discussion at WikiProject Poland and Socialism. --MarioGom (talk) 15:33, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

text: (Belated reply to the ping at WT:POLAND which I noticed only now). I assume you mean :pl:Socjalizm w Polsce (and yes, there is no :pl:Komunizm w Polsce yet...). I think that clearly, socialism in Poland article should be created - but it is not the same as communism in Poland. Those are related, but not identical movements (ideologies). Just like Polish Socialist Party =/= Polish Communist Party. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:52, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
