Somebody else who had reason to worry was Nikita Khrushchev, who has recurrent nightmares over the prospect of a powerful, prosperous, united Europe as a next-door neighbor. "Never before in Britain's history has there been such a case of economic and political capitulation," raged Radio Moscow, added nervously, "nor one so overt and far-reaching in its consequences." For not the least of the gains from the emergence of a united Europe would be an incalculable strengthening of the Western alliance. Said British Labor M.P. Desmond Donnelly, summing up the significance of entry into the Common Market...
...object of all the dutiful interest was Nikita Khrushchev's new Communist Party program, hailed by the Kremlin as the hottest thing in Communist ideology in 40 years, designed to place Nikita right up there with Marx and Lenin among the philosophers of mankind. Not since 1919, when Lenin produced his own massive program, had a new draft of the party's dogma been put on paper.* Now, at vast length, all the distant promises and ambitious boasts were reaffirmed, in rhetoric that was at least somewhat more readable, if less dialectically skillful than Lenin...
Decay Now, Collapse Later. Throughout rang the repeated cries that the "decayed capitalist shell" is about to break, that "socialism will inevitably succeed capitalism everywhere." Communism's more modest aim is still to catch up with its capitalist rival, the U.S. Curiously, Khrushchev's document has dropped the Soviet pretense that overall industrial output will soon match U.S. production. His target for 1970 is a 150% increase, which would hardly more than equal the U.S. 1960 level.

...Four Words. Moscow's answer to such perplexing capitalist strength, which does not follow the "objective" Communist timetable for the locomotive of history, is fierce, unrelenting attack. The 47,000 words of the new document add up to four favorite words of Nikita Khrushchev: "We will bury you." No chapter of Hitler's Mein Kampf ever spelled out a dictator's goal more clearly: "The success of the struggle which the working class wages will depend on how well the party and the working class master all its forms-peaceful and nonpeaceful, parliamentary and extra-parliamentary...
...nations of Africa and Asia still struggling for independence or economic success; paragraph after paragraph assured the "poor, struggling peoples" of Russia's support and socialism's sympathy. But along with the promise of friendship went a warning. The nationalism of emergent nations, said Khrushchev, may be "historically justified" as a reaction against "imperialist " oppression," but "national narrow-mindedness does not disappear automatically with the establishment of the socialist system." Translation: The kind of nationalism that opposes the U.N. in Africa is quite all right with Russia, but beware the stubborn nationalism of Hungarian patriots who opposed...
