...orthodox Catholicism defeated Gnosticism in the ancient ideological battle, so did Stalinism defeat Trotskyism in the modern one; while the result in both instances was that the victorious doctrine became orthodox, its leaders and followers in political control of their areas, while the ousted ideology became heretic (or "deviationist," to use the mildest Kremlin term), its leaders and followers subject to official persecution, banishment, execution...
Where He Stands. While he has not directly criticized the New Deal and Fair Deal in public, Stevenson has clearly indicated that he is a deviationist from the party line.

But the scientist in Haldane had, at least temporarily, vanquished the straight party-liner, even though his stand might well get him tabbed as a deviationist. "I believe that wholly unjustifiable attacks have been made on my profession [by supporters of Lysenko], and one of the most important lessons which I have learned as a Marxist is the duty of supporting my fellow workers. We are not infallible, but we certainly do not hold many of the opinions . . . attributed...
