【新唐人2013年12月03日訊】自前蘇聯解體和東歐劇變後，波羅的海國家、捷克、波蘭、格魯吉亞等絕大多數前社會主義陣營國家，紛紛開始立法清算共產黨歷史，並將共產黨與納粹等同，禁止在公共場所出現鐮刀、斧頭等共產主義標誌以及法西斯標記。這些國家的人民認為，共產黨在統治期間犯下的罪行，已經遠遠的超過了納粹法西斯的罪惡。
據《俄羅斯之聲》11月29號轉載《格魯吉亞新聞社》的報導說，格魯吉亞議會通過一項法律規定：在公共場所使用共產主義和法西斯標誌，以及拒絕拆除紀念碑、浮雕，或者紀念這些意識形態領導人的街道命名，將被處以1000拉里或約600美元的罰款。
這是繼大多數東歐國家和三個波羅的海國家後，又一個前社會主義國家發出了對共產主義標誌的禁令。
格魯吉亞立法者認為，代表共產主義或社會主義組織的鎚子和鐮刀，「其特點是破壞人權、具有自然恐怖的各種形式、進行單個和大規模的屠殺和毀滅、死亡集中營、飢餓和流放、酷刑和奴隸勞動、迫害種族和宗教基礎、限制良心言白、表達及其他自由的極權共產主義制度。」
格魯吉亞議會早在2011年就通過了「清除共產主義污垢」的法律，把共產黨和納粹等同，禁止前共產黨官員、共青團主要成員、以及前共產黨秘密警察擔任公共職務，同時禁止公開傳播納粹法西斯和共產主義意識形態。這項法律還提到必須去掉公共場合的鐮刀、鎚子、紅星等共產黨標誌，並全部更換帶有共產黨特色的地名和街道名稱。
此外，位於斯大林故鄉哥里市的前蘇共黨魁斯大林塑像，也在2010年被格魯吉亞當局秘密拆除。對此，格魯吉亞官員解釋說：「我們的理想是人民協力建造文明的國家，而不是敬仰嗜血的劊子手。」
旅美中國社會問題研究人士張建：「在前蘇聯這些共產主義國家裏邊的人民，飽受了所謂的共產主義的摧殘，而且他們當時探索追求的所謂真理和目標，在經過前蘇聯斯大林時代整個清洗之後，他們會發覺，其在人類的歷史上，從沒有過像所謂追求共產主義這樣的一個國家會使自己本國人遭受如此大的犧牲和迫害。」
據資料顯示，前蘇聯解體後，為了清除共產主義意識形態的一切殘餘，愛沙尼亞、立陶宛、拉脫維亞三個波羅的海國家的立法機關，通過了永久禁止共產黨活動的法令，視共產黨為非法組織，沒收共產黨的一切財產。波蘭、匈牙利、捷克、羅馬尼亞等東歐國家，通過立法禁止共產黨的活動，拆毀和共產主義有關的紀念碑、塑像和一切象徵共產主義的標誌。使用共產黨的鐮刀、斧頭、紅旗、紅星等標誌，將面臨罰款或是被判處兩年監禁的處罰。
這些曾經被共產黨統治過的國家認為，共產主義與法西斯主義一樣，都是極權主義，根據共產主義思想建立的制度是不人道的、違反人權的罪惡制度。共產黨在統治期間對於自己的人民犯下的滔天罪行是無法饒恕的。
張健：「這種迫害遠遠比納粹帶來的更廣，納粹最主要的是對其他民族的迫害，而共產主義不單純是對少數族裔的迫害，而且是對於自己本國的多數族裔的迫害。」
目前，社會主義陣營國家幾乎全部解體，只剩下中國大陸、朝鮮、古巴、越南、老撾五個國家。巧合的是，這些國家在解體前都出現了退黨大潮，例如，匈牙利，原有共產黨員78萬，解體前有12萬人退黨﹔前東德，黨員240萬，在垮臺前有20萬人退黨﹔捷克斯洛伐克，原有172萬共產黨員，政局劇變後，有近半數黨員退黨﹔羅馬尼亞，東歐劇變後共產黨員全部退黨﹔前蘇聯，解體之前的一個月，420萬人公開退黨。
而中國大陸，雖然還在共產黨的統治之下，但目前已經有超過1億5千萬人聲明退出共產黨、共青團及少先隊組織，而且退黨人數每天還在持續增加。

Communism Equates to Nazism, Hammer and Sickle Banned
Since the collapse of the former Soviet Union,
much of the former communist countries
such as the Baltics, Czech Republic, Poland, and Georgia,
have made legislation to clear out the history of the
Communist Party.
They equate the Communist Party to the Nazis,
and ban public display of communist and Nazi symbols,
especially the hammer and sickle symbol.
They believe the crimes of the Communists committed
during the era have far exceeded those of the Nazis.
Russia-based media RIA Novosti reported on Nov. 29th that
Georgian parliament passed amendments stating:
“The use of Nazi and communist symbols in public places and
the erection or refusal to dismantle monuments to and
bas-reliefs of totalitarian leaders in Georgia
will be punishable with a fine of 1,000 lari (around $600)."
The announcement follows suit with much of the former
socialist Eastern European countries and the Baltics
to issue a ban on communist symbols.
Russian Legal Information Agency reports: “According to
the authors of the proposed amendments to the
Georgian Freedom Charter and the Administrative Offences
Code, the term’symbols of totalitarian communism’ denotes
symbols that reflect’a totalitarian communist regime noted
for human rights violations, various forms of mass terror,
hunger, deportations, torture and slave labor, persecution
on ethnic or religious grounds, and infringements on the
freedom of conscience."
“The Freedom Charter, which the Georgian parliament
adopted in late May 2011, prohibits ex-Soviet security service
staff and the top officials of the former Communist Party and
its youth wing, the Komsomol, from holding public offices and
bans the use of Nazi and communist symbols in public places."
It also makes sure that there are no communist symbols
such as the hammer, sickle or red stars on public property and
no streets or areas bear names related to the communism.
A giant statue of Stalin that stood in his hometown of Gori
was dismantled in 2010.
Officials in Gori had the statue removed in the dead of night
to avoid protests.
Gori’s official explained, “Our historical ideals should be
people who tried to build a normal civilized country
rather than bloodthirsty hangmen."
Zhang Jian, China affairs expert: “People under these former
communist countries of the Soviet Union had suffered enough
from the ravages of communism.
In pursuit of truth and goals, after being through the
Great Purge during the Stalin era, they have realized that
throughout the history, only the communist countries make
their own people suffer such great sacrifice and persecution."
It is documented that since the collapse of the USSR,
countries in the Baltics such as Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia,
have passed legislation to remove all remnants of
communist ideology.
Communist activities are permanently banned,
the Communist Party is an illegal organization,
and all Communist Party property is confiscated.
Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Romania and
other Eastern European countries have also banned
the activities of the Communist Party,
dismantled all communist monuments, statues, and
anything that symbolizes communism.
Use of the communist symbols such the sickle, hammer,
red flag, red star and so forth is subject to
fines or two years of imprisonment.
These former communist countries believe that
communism is just like fascism; they are totalitarian.
The communist ideology will give rise to an evil regime
that is inhumane and violates human rights.
The heinous crimes committed against their own people
during communist ruling can not be forgiven.
Zhang Jian: “The (communist led) persecutions are far more
broad than what the Nazis had done.
The Nazi’s mainly targeted other nations,
but the communists target not just the ethnic minorities,
but also the majority of people in its own country."
Majority of the socialist bloc countries have collapsed.
China, North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, and Laos are the five
remaining communist countries.
Coincidentally, the wave of quitting the Communist Party
had arisen prior to the disintegration of the regimes.
For instance, Hungary, had a party membership of 780,000,
and 120,000 people withdrew prior to it’s collapse.
Former East Germany had 2.4 million party members and
200,000 people quit the party before the collapse.
Former Czechoslovakia had 1.72 million party members,
after the political upheaval, nearly half of them quit the party.
Romania, following the Eastern Europe 1989 Revolutions,
all communists withdrew from the party.
A month prior to the collapse,
4.2 million Russians publicly renounced the party.
In China, even though still under communist rule,
there are already more than 150 million people who have quit
the Communist Party, the Communist Youth League and
the Young Pioneers organizations.
And the number continues to increase every day.
