Volunteers

This is probably more of a suggestion, but there ought to be an article explaining "vullnetar" of the Albanian Communist persuasion. When the word volunteers is used like this in an article it gives the impression of citizens freely offering labor, which runs counter to every explanation of "vullnetar" I've ever heard.

I would like to add something. At that time really many people were volunteers and there was much enthusiasm in building the railway. World War II was just over and people wanted to build a new country. Communist propaganda but also willingness to forget the invasion of Albania by the fascists, gave lots of energy. In that effect vullnetar would be a synonym of volunteer. We don't know how many of the US citizens who are "volunteers" during their high school do that purely on the basis of the pleasure that derives from doing things voluntarily: many of them do it because it will serve the resume and get them to top schools. Just my two cents. --Sulmues ^(talk) 05:05, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
