Tuesday, December 19 [2000, note from the webmaster]. To mark the eightieth anniversary of the PCF, the Congress of Tours born December 29, 1920, Robert Hue, forty-four years after Khrushchev, engages in the first act of "repentance", the first admission of Communist crime due a French national leader. Hue acknowledges that membership in the Communist International had "very serious consequence for" to "throw" parties in "obedience to Stalinist dogma." He continued: "It has emerged as a conception of the communist parties which made instruments of an international communist movement within which became law the recognition of the Soviet model. "It must be said, he added, the French Communist Party was not the less zealous to go along with this design. "Before concluding:" We know what monstrous dire realities on blindness, and competing well with the communist ideal, has led to this design. "Robert Hue Must now expect from Marianne or Laurent Joffrin in Observer to articles as violent and demeaning to me that those who were unchecked in these organs at the beginning year, when I published The Great Parade ? Probably not. Joffrin does not portray him as a madman who roams the steppe, shouting: "Gulag! Gulag! "Because Hue clings to the myth, beloved also by the non-Communist left, that Soviet totalitarianism was the work of Stalin alone and was a betrayal of the communist idea original. Pile
historical lie! Wrongdoing against the truth! The enslavement of the PC to the Communist International, that is to say in Moscow, was demanded by Lenin from the beginning. It was even at stake in the Congress of Tours. No school do not know - or should ignore it if you still teaching history in schools. The sixteenth and twenty-one conditions laid down by Lenin for members of the Third International stipulates: "All decisions of the Congress of the Communist International, as well as those of the Executive Committee shall be binding on all parties affiliated with the Communist International. And if the 21st banned all discussion, all right even to ask questions, "party members who reject the conditions and the arguments made by the IC must be expelled from the party. "The fact that
terror, bloodshed, deportation, concentration camp system had been inaugurated by Lenin himself in the early days of the Bolshevik regime, did not know that those who want to ignore it, as now, and once as before. "Ignorance" is the this case a euphemism for lying. Terror was everywhere and always consubstantial to communism, not only in the Soviet Union and not only under Stalin. This may not be a coincidence.
But, given the backwardness of the traditional PCF, comparable to that nowadays the only Portuguese Party, Robert Hue's gesture deserves a nod. As I have often had occasion to observe, recantations communist least embarrass the communists themselves, they throw in convulsions fellow travelers.
