MYTHS CONCERNING FALSE COMMUNISTS
AND SHAM CHRISTIANS
In the autumn of 1989, the crimes of the Romanian dictator Nicolae
Ceausescu against the Romanian people and the Hungarian minority were
discussed on Swedish television. In the studio was Jorn Svensson, a
functionary for the Left-Party Communists (VPK), who claimed that the
eastern European communists were not true followers of the workers'
ideology because they had deviated from the Marxist doctrine.
Since then, the crimes of the eastern European communists have come
increasingly to the public's attention. Therefore, their sympathisers in the
West sought to take a symbolic distance from them, so as not to jeopardise
their own chances to missionise in the future. Naturally, they regarded
themselves as true communists, despite having previously given their full
support to the Bolsheviks in the East. This has become so serious a matter
that they now claim these sympathies to have been a grave mistake. Some
of the western communist parties began to camouflage themselves to hide
their true principles, like the Swedish Left Party Communists, who re-
named themselves simply the Left Party.
The French communists demanded that their leader, Georges Marchais,
step down because he had taken a holiday by the Black Sea as a guest of
Ceausescu. Marchais tried to save himself with a cheap trick: he claimed
that he had distanced himself from the communist regime in Romania a
year earlier, when he said on television that the government of Bucharest
had nothing in common with socialism. On the 28th of December 1989, he
expressed his hope in the newspaper l'Humanite that true socialism might
now begin to be built up in Romania.
Presumably, the three hundred million victims of communism are not
enough for certain naive people to perceive the evil of the Marxist
doctrine. There is not one honest person who would accept a similar view
of the evils of the German national socialists, namely the regret that the
leaders happened to be criminals who departed from the "true and
benevolent doctrine", despite the fact that the victims of the Nazi regime
