There are, he declared firmly, "no protesters in the French Communist Party"; there are only loyal "comrades who discuss." Contradicting his earlier condemnation of the critics, Marchais contended that "it is possible to have good politics in our party only to the extent that each person can press his own ideas freely." Noting that Archcritic Elleinstein was at the fete, busily autographing books, Marchais called his presence "obvious...
