Answer
Actions of the communist governments of the East refers to the political stance of French intellectuals who apologetically defended the oppressive practices of totalitarian communist regimes in Eastern European countries during the mid-20th century. Aron's criticism highlights the moral contradiction in endorsing supposedly progressive leftist political theories while downplaying or excusing significant human rights violations perpetuated by these Eastern Bloc nations under communist rule.
