Just as the Russians are now said to be less threatening to peace, local Communists-who were long suspected by many voters because of their tie-in with the Kremlin-similarly seem less dangerous.

He argued that Western Europe's Communist parties are changing, becoming more independent of Moscow, sloughing off archaic Stalinist ideology. Socialists, therefore, can safely ally themselves with Communists in a common leftist drive for power. Mitterrand's views have been challenged as being too ingenuous about Communist intentions, most recently in The Totalitarian Temptation, a new book by disillusioned Socialist Jean-François Revel (TIME...
