Delirium[edit]

The author of the peaceful coexistence concept was Stalin, not Khrushchev.--Nixer 06:18, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I do not know if that is true or not but if you notice the wording in the article it says that Khrushchev "Promoted" the idea. It never says he authored it.--Peace²³⁷ 21:40, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Russian articles says it was Khrushchev that formulated what we know as peaceful coexistence (being the first Soviet leader visit NATO countries) but that its ideological foundations go back much further. --Hegumen (talk) 06:44, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would have to disagree, because i am currently learning that in history. The history book says that Khrushchev was the one that created it. It also says that the Chinese Dictator was not happy with that decision. And i am aware that History books don't lie. all of it is a fact from the past. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.117.0.27 (talk) 15:19, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Foreign Policy Opinions[edit]

While the idea of peaceful coexistence is a good one, it will never work, because communism just doesn't work. Springerjkreb 19:15, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Communism can work if it adopts American style brainwashing, McCarthyism, and Newspeak. And install the deadly fear of loosing job in the citizens. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.168.142.146 (talk) 04:46, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Definition[edit]

The definition is OK, but too vague. It wasn't that communist and capitalist states could peacefully coexist but rather that they could avoid conflict (specifically a nuclear one) if they refrained from interfering in each others' spheres of influence (as the important Cold War boundaries were already outlined by the 60s). --Hegumen (talk) 06:35, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

if they refrained from interfering in each others Sphere of influence - this is an overkill. Interference with someone's sphere of interests would lead to conflict regardless of the ideology. All belligerents in the WWI had the same capitalist ideology. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.168.142.146 (talk) 05:15, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
