Question

What, according to the author, is the real reason for a renewed attack against
communism?

(2006)

• A. Disguising the unintended consequences of the current economic order such as social injustice and environmental crisis.
• B. Idealizing the existing ideology of global capitalism.
• C. Making communism a generic representative of all historical atrocities, especially those perpetrated by the European imperialists.
• D. Communism still survives, in bits and pieces, in the minds and hearts of people.
• E. Renewal of some communist regimes has led to the apprehension that communist nations might overtake the capitalists.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Idealizing the existing ideology of global capitalism.

Option: (b)

The author gives the opinion of a conservative European MP. The renewed attack on communism is being made because the now existing ideology of global capitalism can be idealized only through an attack on communism. Though (a) might also appear as a correct alternative but (b) states the reason most appropriately.
