View source for Template talk:Historic Communism

Too many red links in a template ... unless planning to fill in those entries soon.  Thanks.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 00:14, 12 April 2020 (EDT)
:I agree. We need to focus on the danger of Communism today. While its historical context is helpful, it needn't be dominant. We could fill a whole page with persons and organizations in its historical context. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|De Plorabus Unum]]</sup> 01:41, 12 April 2020 (EDT)
::Fair enough, I could create a couple of those articles and re-add them to the template when needed.  [[User:Northwest|Northwest]] ([[User talk:Northwest|talk]]) 02:48, 12 April 2020 (EDT)
:::I'd like to see concentration on documenting a solid basis for adding people such as [[AOC]], etc.. to the Template, not using innuendo or making it all about defunct and historic subjects.  And that begins with putting the solid evidence within linked mainspace.  [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|De Plorabus Unum]]</sup> 12:00, 12 April 2020 (EDT)

== Cold War I link ==

There's a link to [[Cold War I]] in this nav template, but it redirects to [[Cold War]]. Can an administrator change the link to [[Cold War]]? Thank you [[User:Patriotic Gamer|Patriotic Gamer]] ([[User talk:Patriotic Gamer|talk]]) 23:48, June 21, 2021 (EDT)
:I think you're right, but [[Cold War II]] is a developing situation. As of now, it appears Russia is on NATO's side. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|Free Kyle!]]</sup> 01:21, June 22, 2021 (EDT)

==Page Move - Historic Communism==
Historic Communism ends with the [[Cold War]] in 1991. Hence subjects like [[Saul Alinsky]] or [[Rules for Radicals]] for example belong to the Historic Communism Template. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|Abnormal is fine. Stupid isn't.]]</sup> 16:42, January 7, 2026 (EST)

Comment: There is a big difference between Historic Communism and contemporary communism. Historic Communism in [[Soviet]] times was an official, state-funded [[policy]] to subvert and overthrow (what we call today a [[policy]] of "[[regime change]]") existing "[[bourgeois]]" governments throughout the world under the banner of worldwide workers revolution. That policy ended in 1988. Contemporary "communism" is a mish-mash of ideologies in different places and not a state-directed policy of international subversion. It's become a catch-all in [[partisan]] name-calling. To be a true communist today, one has to advocate for the restoration of the [[Lenin]]ist worldwide revolution, which [[Russia]] has rejected. 

Communism is more than just being against the [[profit]] motive in the "[[Affordability]] [[crisis]]" which even [[Republican]]s advocate for today. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|Abnormal is fine. Stupid isn't.]]</sup> 22:12, January 8, 2026 (EST)

A separate [[Template:American Communism]] will probably have to made eventually. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|Abnormal is fine. Stupid isn't.]]</sup> 00:26, January 10, 2026 (EST)
