Reactionary Czechoslovakism?



My review of the "Czech" flag on Amazon. 

I don't wish to be rude, but this is really the flag of Czechoslovakia. The blue triangel is a symbol for Slovakia. However, when Czechoslovakia fell apart, the Czechs decided to keep the old Czechoslovak flag. So now the triangle suddenly stands for Moravia, instead! A funny case of keeping the symbol, but changing the symbolism...

Well, it's good to know that the tribe of Kalhoda and Sladek identified so hard with the Czecho-SLOVAK state, that they decided to continue using its flag!
