I had your posts confused with the individual who posts on Marxmail as "Ruthless Critic of All That Exists". He was the one who got Sartre's position on Hungary. However, that is not to deny that in the early 1950s, had been very much an uncritical supporter of the Soviet Union and Stalin. It was Khrushchev's 1956 speech at the 20th Party Congress on Stalin that seems to have removed the scales from his eyes. In a broader sense Sartre remained something of a Stalinist and this was presumably reflected in his involvement with the Maoists in the early 1970s.
