THE POLITICAL MANIPULATION OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNIST MOVEMENT

Abstract

This article is based on a doctoral thesis entitled Erich Fromm’s socialist humanism. Cuius regio eius religio. It shows how Willi Münzenberg pushed the intellectuals into the communist ideology, as it was never done before. It was motivated by the search of an Utopia that aiming to overcome the old values will allow to get the control over them..The Soviet Union manipulated the sense of solidarity, peace and a solid opposition to war and fascism in order to incorporate supporters and collaborators into its political aims.
