who here can tell me who the second communist country in the world was
its a country that youve only heard legends about
Mongolia
after Russia, Mongolia was the second communist country, and got that way after Bolshevik troops helped the Mongolians force White troops out of the capital of Ulaanbaatar
then Mongolias very first political party was formed, the Mongolian People's Party
just though you just might want to know that

lets try to avoid definitions
would you prefer i say leftist
What about Tannu Tuva? Mongolia became socialist on September 14, 1921, Tannu Tuva however, became socialist in September 1920, one year earlier.
That means that you're wrong! :biggrin:
By the way, what did you mean "its a country that youve only heard legends about", that's crap mate, I have never heard a legend about Mongolia, I have only heard stuff from obscure internet sites that I presume isn't legends...
But I really like these quizzes, keep 'em coming

Where in the hell is Tanu Tuva? Ive never heard of that place before, hehe. Also comrades your both wrong, Hungary was the second communist state, Hungary was temporarily communist under the leadership Bela Kun, they were in full control of the government before being overrun by counter-revolutionaries in the fall of 1919.

Tannu Tuva was a Russian Protectorate, and recognized Soviet Rule in 1918. They do not qualify as an idependant state becoming "Communist" independantly from Russia.
Ahh crap, I thought I won!
Don't be slack to Tannu Tuva RC ;), I would have counted it as a seperate state, just because it has 50 000 people and no one's heard of it doesn't mean its not it's own state, I mean it was it's own nation until it signed an agreement with the first Romanov to stop the Mongol's conquering them and come under Russia's protection.
Guess I'm wrong though, I mean I remember about Bela Kun

All you people are wrong on the first question proposed,there has never been a communist country,there have only been socialist states,And I beleive that hungray was indeed the second socialist state.
Hmmm, how about something I've mentioned in another thread....
How many toes did Stalin have on his left foot?

A rifle? to symbolize the soldiers? Ive read that on the earliest soviet flags there was also a rifle, Ive never seen a picture however and think that would definately be interesting to see, being so used to the scythe and hammer by itself.
Was it a compass or a protractor or something like that?

I've seen a plough and a hammer on early Cheka badges...

redcomrade was close..
but it wasnt a rifle..
the compass was part of the Eastern Germany arms but no...
RedComrade
16th July 2003, 23:34
I dont know if we're allowed two guesses but I beleive I have it, would it be a plough instead of a rifle?
the SovieT
17th July 2003, 00:18
no it was a sword..
a hammer, a syckle and a sword inthe midle (kind of the KGB symbol, but in the JGB the sword is pointing up)
Yeah I was thinking about the East German one and just thought it might be it.
Next Question: What are the three theoretical traditions that Marx critiques and combines to form Marxism?
Think English something, German something and French something

Do you mean his division in the Manifesto of Communist and Socialist litterature into reactionary socialism, bourgeois socialism, and critical utopian socialism? Or are you looking for more specific references, such as to English Chartism?

Dialectical Materialism, Historical Materialism, and Marxian Economics?
Maybe my question was a bit ambigous, the answer is "English Political Economy, German Philosophy, French Socialism"
