Społeczność dla Polskich komunistów i wszystkich zainteresowanych dyskusją o Polsce.

Oprócz już istniejących zasad ogólnostronicowych, są dodatkowe dla tej społeczności:

Wiadomości muszą być o Polsce. Wydarzenia z innych państw w języku polskim tutaj nie pasują, i lepszym by było je publikować dla wszystkich w języku angielskim.
Udostępniane materiały edukacyjne powinny być w języku Polskim, te w języku angielskim mogą być tutaj wstawiane pod warunkiem że są złączone z Polską.
Dyskusja o Polsce w języku angielskim mile widziana, zachęcamy również do pisania postów obu języcznych; po angielsku i po polsku.
Zero materiałów ala Gówno X Mówi.

———

A community for Polish communists and everyone interested in discussing about Poland.

Except for existing site wide rules, here are additional to this community:

News should be about Poland. Affairs of other countries written in Polish don't fit here, and it would be better to post about them elsewhere for everyone to read in English.
Shared education materials should be in Polish, those in English can be posted here as long they relate to Poland.
Discussion about Poland in English are welcome, we encourage writing posts in both languages; English and Polish.
No materials that can be regarded as Shit X Says.

Why is Rzczepospolita only used internally? (lemmygrad.ml)

I am confused as to why Poland is refers to other countries as "Republika" (e.g. Republika Filipin) while referring itself as "Rzczepospolita" (don't worry, I know the pronunciation).

it seems the meaning of Rzeczpospolita (eng Commonwealth) is a synonym of Republic .

from Wikipedia :

Originally a phrase (the common-wealth or the common wealth – echoed in the modern synonym "public wealth"), it comes from the old meaning of "wealth", which is "well-being", and is itself a loose translation of the Latin res publica. The term literally meant "common well-being". In the 17th century, the definition of "commonwealth" expanded from its original sense of "public welfare" or "commonweal" to mean "a state in which the supreme power is vested in the people; a republic or democratic state".
