IV.
Questioning the Leaders of the Communist Parties Throughout the World
Nevertheless,
we should not fool ourselves into thinking that, as regards reproaches and
calling to accounts, the only polemic is the one between the victims crying out
through the increasingly generalized cracks of the immense Soviet dungeon and
their torturers. We should also not think it to be only the one between these
same victims and their smiling and parsimonious benefactors in the West, who
occasionally may be favorable to their cause throughout the future stages of
servitude. Who knows when this will end, since it depends on what an enigmatic
future will bring.
Yet
another polemic needs to be considered plausible, one between the populations
of the countries of the West and the leaders of their respective communist
parties. The latter have been widely and comfortably established in all the non‑communist
nations of the world due to the prestige of communism's claim to ideological
and technological modernity, and, occasionally due to the persuasive power of
money and the efficacy of communist propaganda tactics.
