Similarity to Soviets. The Communists and other extreme left-wing parties endorsed the program. Communist Party Boss Alvaro Cunhal has made similar proposals in his writings; moreover, the new councils bear a certain resemblance to the workers' Soviets that were established by the Bolsheviks during Russia's 1917 Revolution. Most other Portuguese politicians denounced the plan as a recipe for a new era of tyranny. "We are absolutely against it," said Dr. Freitas do Amaral, head of the Center Social Democrats.

Unemployment has been aggravated by the return of thousands of troops from the former Portuguese colonies in Africa, and another dismal tourist season like last year's could prove disastrous. Moreover, both Soares and Communist Party Chief Alvaro Cunhal recently stressed in interviews with TIME that the biggest problem will be to find the experienced personnel to run the newly nationalized industries. "We don't want to substitute state capitalism for a monopolistic one," said Soares. "That creates a new bureaucracy as in the Eastern [European] countries...
