Among all the apprehensions that Mr. GoranLindblad expresses against Communism, which one gets admitted, although indirectly, by the author? (2006)
The correct option is B Notions of social justice inherent in
communist ideology appeal to critics of existing systems.
Option: (b) The apprehensions of Lindblad that "different elements of communist ideology such as equality or social justice still seduce many" is indirectly accepted by the author as in the last paragraph he mentions the resistance of the Muslim world and Latin America against New Imperialism and the growing demand for social justice. The correct answer therefore is (b).
Para 1:
· Fifteen years after communism was officially pronounced dead, its spectre seems once again to be haunting Europe.
· Last month, the Council of Europe's parliamentary assembly voted to condemn the "crimes of totalitarian communist regimes" linking them with Nazism.
· GoranLindblad wants to take this further.
Para 2:
· Reasons for this being a good year for Lindblad's ideological offensive.
· Paradoxically, given that there is no communist government left in Europe outside Moldova, the attacks have if anything, become more extreme as time has gone on.
· Blaming class struggle and public ownership, Lindblad explained "different elements of communist ideology such as equality or social justice still seduce many" and "a sort of nostalgia for communism is still alive."
· Real problem for Lindblad and his right-wing allies in Europe is that communism is not dead enough.
Para 3:
· The fashionable attempt in reality to equate communism and Nazism is in reality a moral and historical nonsense.
· The dominant account gives no sense of how communist regimes renewed themselves after 1956 or why Western leaders feared they might overtake the capitalist world well into the 1960s.
· For all its brutalities and failures, communism's existence helped to drive up welfare standards in the West, and provided a powerful counterweight to Western global denomination.
· Its existence helped to drive up welfare standards in the West, and provided a powerful counterweight to Western global domination.
Para 4:
· It would be easier to take the council of Europe's condemnation of communist state crimes seriously if it had also seen fit to denounce the far bloodier account of European colonialism.
· This was a system of racist despotism, which dominated the globe in Stalin's time.
· While there is precious little connection between the ideas of fascism and communism, there is an intimate link between colonialism and Nazism.
Para 5:
· Comparable atrocities were carried out by all European colonialists, but not a word of condemnation from the Council of Europe.
Para 6:
· Part of the current enthusiasm in official Western circles for dancing on the grave of communism is about relations with today's Russia and China.
· It also reflects a determination to prove there is no alternative to the new global capitalist order.
Option: (b)
