[edit] POV removals

François Mitterrand's Parti Socialiste was social democratic; social democracy is quite far removed from the popular view of "socialism". -- Mihnea Tudoreanu 01:46, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
But by their name they don't claim to be social democratic, but rather socialist, n'est-ce pas? Rlquall 12:02, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)


The two links point to the same article. I removed the redundant link. -- Mihnea Tudoreanu 01:46, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling

I am very aware of the general Wikipedia policy to use American spellings for American topics and British spellings for UK/Commonwealth topics. But obviously this topic is neither specifically one or the other and changing spellings within the article looks ridiculous. Changing them all to the American-preferred ones is not an instance of American imperialism but rather making the article seem comparable to other encyclop(a)edia articles.

This is understandable, but changing them all to Commonwealth Spellings would be jsut the same.

'ise'-'ize' is not a regional english variant issue apart from the fact that some places don't use 'ise' at all. 'ize' has always been acceptable in all english speaking countries.Zebulin (talk) 05:47, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Arguments For and Against

Privatization has a section of Arguments For and Against so its only natural that this article should too.

I second that notion. Otherwise the site will appear biased.

I support this notion.

[edit] Socialization vs. Nationalization

The article on Socialization is disambiguating to this article: "[..]socialization can refer to nationalization in political science". This is not entirely true. Some people may think that they are synonyms, but many others do not. Please see Talk:Socialization. It should be fixed in some way. Kricke 02:38, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bad info on Venezuela

Hugo Chávez could have hardly tried to nationalize the oil industry in Venezuela, mainly because it had already been nationalized in the late 70´s, that entry in the "CIA and nationalization" section should be removed. In addition, the 2002 coup d'état was not about nationalizing the oil industry, but about the "revolutionary" laws that were being enacted (Land distribution, Fishing, etc).

tag your comments. Anyway, he's in the process of renationalizing the oil and energy sector within Venezuela. Considering the multinational interests in the region, and the sheer amount of oil produced in that country, I think that's noteworthy. The newsies certainly believe it's newsworthy. /// 3R1C 00:08, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
It's impossible to "renationalize" what hasn't been privatized. In Venezuela the State has had the monopoly of the oil industry since the late 70's. What the government wants to do now is nationalize CANTV, the main phone companay of the country wich was indeed privatized in the early 90's. But the energy sector only has private investment in power plants and the electricity network, that had been a state monopoly, but later opened to other players, without privatizing the State-owned CADAFE.

[edit] US: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

I'm no expert, but I was always under the impression that Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Sally Mae (sp?) were originally nationalised and still are under some sort of government guarantee. Maybe a more learned person could add these if I'm right?BaseTurnComplete 19:57, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anglo- Indonesia

The British company Anglo-Indonesia was nationalised by the Indonesian government in the (60's?) as part of a government take-over of foreign companies in Indonesia. Don't know any more than that.

[edit] Russia 1998

It is a very long run-on sentence that I can't understand. Can it be straightened out? 209.181.58.51 (talk) 13:56, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
