There were, for example, those who questioned whether the Cold War was in fact necessary and whether the Soviet Union and Communism constituted a threat. Such “revisionists” were a distinct minority, which is a good thing, as there is no reason to believe that the Soviets and Communism were a benign force.
例如，当时就有人质疑这场冷战是否有必要开打，而苏联和共产主义是否真的构成了威胁。尽管这种质疑的存在是个好现象，但这些“修正主义者”很明显只是些少数派，因为当时可没人会相信苏联和共产主义是一股友好的力量。结果就促成了一场长达40年的国际冲突。
