Tag #109778 - Interview #78228 (Leon Glazer)

What was my attitude to communism? I don't know. In that initial period in the WOP it wasn't communism as such. In the army I didn't feel that it was communism. Well what was it? I had a position, advocated what was there, what I considered to be the truth. I advocated what for me was true. That's what I was taught in the army, because I got all my education after the war. And what I was taught in high school, and what I learned at the university was true for me. I was never a communist. I said I wasn't a communist. I simply liked a system of society based on what I'd call the theories of Marx and Engels. Communism in the Marxist sense, that everybody had not the same but according to their needs. Back when they'd enlisted me into the PPR, I didn't know what the party was at all. But once I was a party member I did think that it was a party that was doing something, giving something.
