Thanks! Came to post this. Not sure how being historically accurate is pedantic, although I would probably have started off my comment that way, too.

Soviet block means Soviet controlled Warsaw pact members. Yugoslavia was one of the leader of non-aligned countries (with India, Egypt, Argentina, etc) . There is a huge difference between the communism in Yugoslavia and calling it Soviet-block country. IE in the war between NATO and Warsaw pact members, Yugoslavia…

Just posted the same thing .... Máté is a kid I don’t think he really understands.

Sure, but Communism doesn’t make something Soviet-aligned. Just look at China or Albania.
