ANTI-COMMUNISM: IT’S HIGH TIME TO DIAGNOSE AND COUNTERACT
ANTI-COMMUNISM: IT’S HIGH TIME TO DIAGNOSE AND COUNTERACT

Summary/Abstract: Anti-communism is as old as communism, maybe even older. In the Communist Manifesto Marx writes about the “spectre of communism”, which “haunts Europe” and against which “all powers of old Europe” have united: “Pope and Tsar, Metternich and Guizot, French Radicals and German police-spies”. The communist party had not yet been created, the program had not crystallised yet, there were not yet people who would have identified themselves with the ideas of communism. Nevertheless, representatives of the old feudal and the new capitalist worlds had already protested against them. And they opposed them fiercely, using all available tools, both legal (prison sentences, fines) and extra-legal (assaults on members of left-wing organisations, destruction and arson of their premises, social ostracism).
