	Society of Communist Czechoslovakia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Czechoslovakia, of all the East European countries, entered the postwar era with a relatively balanced social structure and an equitable distribution of resources.
		Most women in Czechoslovakia worked, a reflection in part of the labor shortage and in part of the socialist belief that employment for women is the answer to inequality between the sexes.
		Rural society in the 1980s was a combination of cooperatives (approximately 73% of the agricultural labor force), state farms (18%), and private farms (9%).

		Finally Czechoslovakia ceased to exist in March 1939, when Hitler occupied the remainder of the Czech lands lands and (the remaining) Slovakia was forced to declare independence.
		The Czechoslovakia national football team was a consistent performer in the international scene, with 8 appearances in the FIFA World Cup Finals, finishing in second-place in 1934 and 1962.

		Following Lenin's democratic centralism, the Communist parties were organized on a hierarchical basis, with active cells of members as the broad base; they were made up only of elite cadres approved by higher members of the party as being reliable and completely subject to party discipline.
		Despite the actvity of the Comintern, the Soviet Communist Party adopted the Stalinist theory of "socialism in one country" and claimed that, due to the "aggravation of class struggle under socialism," it was possible, even necessary, to build socialism in one country alone.
		While anticommunists applied the concept of "totalitarianism" to these societies, many social scientists identified possibilities for independent political activity within them, and stressed their continued evolution up to the point of the dissolution of the Soviet Union and its allies in Eastern Europe during the late 1980s and early 1990s.

		Communist party membership grew quickly, as public sentiment was disappointed in the western powers, blamed for betraying the country at Munich in 1938, while the Soviet Red Army had liberated most of the country in a war which had cost uncountable sacrifices.
		In 1947 the KSC (Socialist Party, controlled by the communists), began to plot against its coalition partners, with the aim of taking sole control of the government, a move in which they were tacitly supported by the Soviet authorities.
		The Economy : Czechoslovakia was an interesting trade partner for many European countries, as her many of her factories had survived the war with limited damage and as the country had a pool of skilled labour; Czechoslovak machinery was in high demand.

		Klaus dismissed the idea of a civil society, proclaimed it to be an artificial construction, and opposed to it his concept of democratic society in which the individual was related to the state through the intermediary of political parties and free elections.
		Against Havel’s insistence Klaus would argue that he used the notion of a civil society as a society of citizens as opposed to a society organized on the grounds of ethnicity or on the grounds of social classes with all the consequences for the nature, structure and functioning of the state.
		Václav Benda, one of the leading dissidents, opposed to this absence of a civil society in Communist Czechoslovakia his concept of polis which asserted that open and functional coexistence between the state and a civil society in our time is possible only in the framework of a democratic state as we understand it today.

	Civil Society and the Present Age - Bronislaw Geremek
		In communist countries, the "withering away" of the state lingered on as a rhetorical trope, but was never a serious practical possibility.
		The civil society of 1980 was the projection into the future of a vision that rested upon an awesome emotional unity.
		The civil society of more than ten years later cannot and should not base itself on emotions, but on the building of carefully nurtured institutions; on the practical realization of ethical values; and on the involvement of the greatest possible numbers of people in public life.

	Communism and National Security: The Menace Emerges--by Ellen Schrecker
		Communist party members were believed to be part of a secret conspiracy, fanatics who would automatically do whatever Stalin told them to do.
		Even at its peak, the Communist party had a high turnover rate; and by the early 1950s, most of the people who had once been in the party had quit, proving that they were hardly the ideological zombies they were commonly portrayed as.
		Nonetheless, the assumption that all Communists followed the party line all the time was to structure and justify the political repression of the McCarthy period.

		By the end of 1980, the Polish Communist Party came under increasing pressure from Solidarity, which threatened strikes, and in turn from the Soviet Union, which massed more than 20 divisions on the Polish border for the stated purpose of regularly scheduled maneuvers.
		After the elections, the Communists, who were guaranteed 65 percent of the seats in the Sejm (the parliament), did not win a majority, and Solidarity-backed candidates won 99 out of 100 freely contested seats in the Senate.

	The Warsaw Pact
		In a televised news conference, at the height of the 1968 crisis, the chief of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia's military department, Lieutenant General Vaclav Prchlik, denounced the Warsaw Pact as an unequal alliance and declared that the Czechoslovak Army was prepared to defend the country's sovereignty by force, if necessary.
		Formulated in response to the crisis in Czechoslovakia, the so-called Brezhnev Doctrine declared that the East European countries had "limited" sovereignty to be exercised only as long as it did not damage the interests of the "socialist commonwealth" as a whole.

		A technological society is an artificial society, in which the person is divorced from reality and in which truth is of a reduced account.
		A technological society such as that which exists in today's developed nations is consequently characterized by a diminution of its ethical sense.
		The attempts by Communist governments to establish technologically based societies have always been intrinsically, and not accidentally, tyrannical because of their lack of an ethical reference to the human person.

		Many Communists throughout the world who answered the Comintern's call to fight in Spain were repaid subsequently by Soviet assistance in their attempts to seize power in their respective countries.
		When I saw that the Communist Party was taking the lead in the struggle for the rights of minorities and of labor, exposing the role of imperialism in conquest and war, I found that my constant concern with the racist issue became an integral part of the broader struggle for human rights everywhere.

	How Czechoslovakia Became Communist
		In understanding the transformation of Czechoslovakia into a workers state, it is necessary to start with Edvard Benes, the left social democrat who was ousted by the Communists in 1948.
		So if Chris Harman questions whether the Communists introduced anything fundamentally new after 1948, it is useful to understand that in a very real sense the Communists represented a more ruthless adoption of the social and economic program that Benes already was committed to, at least on a verbal level.
		Although he was ideologically committed to a socialist Czechoslovakia, there is little doubt that the need to outflank the CP was a primary factor in nationalizing industry.

		But its leader, "Gracchus" Babeuf, issued a manifesto at his trial in 1797, in which he proclaimed that the communist ideal was a moral imperative that revolutionaries in future times would pursue until it had become a reality.
		While the notion that they had remained subterranean movements during the seventy years of Soviet domination is problematic, many of the leaders who emerged after the fall of the communist regimes appealed to nationalist and ethnic sentiment to consolidate their positions.

		In home policy, the leaders of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia are departing from the positions of the working class and are breaking with the Marxist theory of classes and class struggle.
		This denial is the direct result of the opportunist tenet that the class struggle does not become sharper during the period of transition from capitalism to socialism, as Marxism-Leninism teacbes, but dies down, as was affirmed by opportunists of the Bukharin type, who propagated the theory of the peaceful growing over of capitalism into socialism.
		Should the present leaders of the Yugoslav Communist Party prove incapable of doing this, their job is to replace them and to advance a new internationalist leadership of the Party.
