Indeed, communism was attractive for many reasons, including the idea of universal justice and humanized social relations; a response to the great spiritual crisis after World War I and, later, to the Nazis’ genocide; and the conviction that Western dominance of the world was nearing its end.

确实，共产主义有许多吸引人的地方。它们包括全面正义和人性化的社会关系、回应了第一次世界大战之后巨大的精神危机以及后来纳粹种族屠杀，以及相信西方对世界的统治正在结束。最后，在一个被亚尔塔协议瓜分的世界里，共产主义对于某些人来说是中欧唯一现实的选择。
