SOCIETY AND POLITICS IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY. OLD AND NEW SOCIAL MOVEMENTS

CHAPTER 6 YOUTH REVOLUTION, CULTURAL REVOLUTION

The fifteen years that followed the end of World War II were characterized by political conservatism, ruling out the boiling in the Third World, due to the process of decolonization.

In contrast, the 1970s are presented with a new face. In 1956, de-Stalinization and the Hungarian revolt took place; in 1961 the Berlin wall was erected; and in 1962 the missile crisis occurred in Cuba.

But it is in the 1970s that the great changes that will mark customs, ways of life, art, and social movements take place, at least during the subsequent twenty years. All this also had, however, much of a frustrated revolution.

The Renewal Trials in the Communist World

De-Stalinization and its limits

In the early 1950s in the USSR, Stalin held undisputed power. He was the general secretary of a party (the Communist Party) that argued that the masses were the engine of history. However, Stalin became the absolute master of the destinies of the USSR. A traditional Russian nationalism was taking hold, above the other Soviet republics; a puritanical morality and a dogmatic ruling class, instead of an authentic proletarian internationalism, a revolution in everyday relations (the new man) and a vanguard crackled that he did not lose contact with the working class.

The cult of personality did not make it possible to hear voices of disagreement with the official line.

Under these conditions, the death of Stalin opens a certain change. In 1956, he was succeeded by Khrushchev, a leader who read the famous secret report on Stalinism at the 20th Congress of the Communist Party.

That report said that Stalin had built a police regime that had nothing to do with the socialist ideal, and that the political processes and purges had been farces based on false accusations and torture, the sole purpose of which was to liquidate political opponents. . His victims could be numbered in the millions.

The report had two major limitations. In the first place, he personalized the ills of the system almost exclusively in the figure of Stalin. But above all it did not come from a sincere reformist, but from someone who intended to use the attack on Stalin as a weapon against the stylist guard, that is, as an instrument to consolidate his power against his rivals.

Despite Khrushchev's insincerity, the change was noticeable. The tenuous liberalization of the regime is reflected in literature and in the intellectual world.

In the Eastern European countries, many leaders and citizens thought that it was time to loosen the Soviet juice, they wanted socialism, but also freedom, and national sovereignty. They were going to feel firsthand what the limits of de-Stalinization were.

October 1956: something moves

The tension between the Soviet protectorate, or between the communist leaders and the rest of the population, had been constant since the end of World War II. The de-Stalinization process that is beginning in the USSR constitutes for these countries a kind of boost to latent aspirations for liberalization. Thus, a minority arises in some of these nations that tries to channel this openness to build a more flexible political regime, based less on the work of a secret political police, closer to popular aspirations, less dependent on the Soviet Union.

Poland went through serious economic difficulties throughout 1956. The discomfort of the population is reflected in the street. In Poznam, in June 1956, the troops of the workers' state fired at the workers. Hopes are pinned on Gomulka.

Gomulka, condemned in 1948 by the Stalinists, represents the aspirations of the Polish people, suspicious of the USSR. In such a dependent context, Gomulka cannot solve the serious economic and political problems; but he offers palliatives such as the right to strike, the end of censorship, and the dismantling of the
