【新唐人2013年12月03日讯】自前苏联解体和东欧剧变后，波罗的海国家、捷克、波兰、格鲁吉亚等绝大多数前社会主义阵营国家，纷纷开始立法清算共产党历史，并将共产党与纳粹等同，禁止在公共场所出现镰刀、斧头等共产主义标志以及法西斯标记。这些国家的人民认为，共产党在统治期间犯下的罪行，已经远远的超过了纳粹法西斯的罪恶。
据《俄罗斯之声》11月29号转载《格鲁吉亚新闻社》的报导说，格鲁吉亚议会通过一项法律规定：在公共场所使用共产主义和法西斯标志，以及拒绝拆除纪念碑、浮雕，或者纪念这些意识形态领导人的街道命名，将被处以1000拉里或约600美元的罚款。
这是继大多数东欧国家和三个波罗的海国家后，又一个前社会主义国家发出了对共产主义标志的禁令。
格鲁吉亚立法者认为，代表共产主义或社会主义组织的锤子和镰刀，“其特点是破坏人权、具有自然恐怖的各种形式、进行单个和大规模的屠杀和毁灭、死亡集中营、饥饿和流放、酷刑和奴隶劳动、迫害种族和宗教基础、限制良心言白、表达及其他自由的极权共产主义制度。”
格鲁吉亚议会早在2011年就通过了“清除共产主义污垢”的法律，把共产党和纳粹等同，禁止前共产党官员、共青团主要成员、以及前共产党秘密警察担任公共职务，同时禁止公开传播纳粹法西斯和共产主义意识形态。这项法律还提到必须去掉公共场合的镰刀、锤子、红星等共产党标志，并全部更换带有共产党特色的地名和街道名称。
此外，位于斯大林故乡哥里市的前苏共党魁斯大林塑像，也在2010年被格鲁吉亚当局秘密拆除。对此，格鲁吉亚官员解释说：“我们的理想是人民协力建造文明的国家，而不是敬仰嗜血的刽子手。”
旅美中国社会问题研究人士张建：“在前苏联这些共产主义国家里边的人民，饱受了所谓的共产主义的摧残，而且他们当时探索追求的所谓真理和目标，在经过前苏联斯大林时代整个清洗之后，他们会发觉，其在人类的历史上，从没有过像所谓追求共产主义这样的一个国家会使自己本国人遭受如此大的牺牲和迫害。”
据资料显示，前苏联解体后，为了清除共产主义意识形态的一切残余，爱沙尼亚、立陶宛、拉脱维亚三个波罗的海国家的立法机关，通过了永久禁止共产党活动的法令，视共产党为非法组织，没收共产党的一切财产。波兰、匈牙利、捷克、罗马尼亚等东欧国家，通过立法禁止共产党的活动，拆毁和共产主义有关的纪念碑、塑像和一切象征共产主义的标志。使用共产党的镰刀、斧头、红旗、红星等标志，将面临罚款或是被判处两年监禁的处罚。
这些曾经被共产党统治过的国家认为，共产主义与法西斯主义一样，都是极权主义，根据共产主义思想建立的制度是不人道的、违反人权的罪恶制度。共产党在统治期间对于自己的人民犯下的滔天罪行是无法饶恕的。
张健：“这种迫害远远比纳粹带来的更广，纳粹最主要的是对其他民族的迫害，而共产主义不单纯是对少数族裔的迫害，而且是对于自己本国的多数族裔的迫害。”
目前，社会主义阵营国家几乎全部解体，只剩下中国大陆、朝鲜、古巴、越南、老挝五个国家。巧合的是，这些国家在解体前都出现了退党大潮，例如，匈牙利，原有共产党员78万，解体前有12万人退党﹔前东德，党员240万，在垮台前有20万人退党﹔捷克斯洛伐克，原有172万共产党员，政局剧变后，有近半数党员退党﹔罗马尼亚，东欧剧变后共产党员全部退党﹔前苏联，解体之前的一个月，420万人公开退党。
而中国大陆，虽然还在共产党的统治之下，但目前已经有超过1亿5千万人声明退出共产党、共青团及少先队组织，而且退党人数每天还在持续增加。

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.
