Communism as seen by Thierry Wolton: Ideology and Crime

This article provides a profound analysis of Thierry Wolton's thought on communism, viewed not as a mere historical episode but as a fundamental structure of oppression. The author exposes the mechanisms by which Marxist-Leninist ideology transformed into an apparatus of systemic violence and terror. The text explores the concept of communism as a secular religion and political soteriology striving for a complete transformation of human nature. The reader will find an explanation of the process of creating 'homo sovieticus' through the destruction of individualism and the axiological monism of the party-state. Wolton reconstructs the moral truth of an era in which abstract projects of soul engineering led to the greatest crimes in human history, encompassing both the Soviet experiment and the Chinese revolution.
