Socialism in smaller countries such as Holland?[edit]

I think it could be interesting to have a section on socialism in smaller western european countries such as Holland.

agree - the way the article reads, it seems the northern and western European government styles after 1985 simply aren't in the chosen scope of this article, in spite of the fact that they are the predominant "socialist" style governments of the West to this day. 47.185.39.179 (talk) 23:25, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Terminology?![edit]

Terminology problems??

According to Marxist-Leninist terminology (which I don't accept as valid B.T.W.) socialism refers to a state of society, and communism as the next state. The chapter Socialism and Communism (1917-39) is about the Social Democrat versus the Communist movements.

According to Marxist anachronistic terminology (as opposed to the Marxist-Leninist one), social democrats and communists are two mutually cooperating kinds of socialists.

I think the title Socialism and Communism (1917-39)' should be some such as Social Democrats versus Communists (1917-39).

Proposal for article to be trimmed and split current sections each to become an article[edit]

Basically what the subject says. After looking over the article, looking at the top boxes as well, I think that it should be trimmed overall, and that each history section be made into an article that can link back to this main article. One way of doing that for example may be "origins to pre-1789", "French revolution to 1850s and the development", "Marxism and the movement 1850s to 1910s", "Interwar era", 'WW2 and Cold War", and "1991 to present".
