Our Communist revolutionaries are also aesthetes, although they’ll join the fight if necessary (Malraux in Spain); fighting is part of their aesthetic. They have intelligence but not conviction. Malraux is erotic, and Aragon? Surely something, considering Gide’s fear of him. If they ever gain power, I think it’ll be like watching the Marquis de Sade in action. Sadism and heroism share the same root. Both are superficial distractions. But if you told that to a brave comrade (my cousin André, for example), he’d go wide-eyed as a cat pissing in hot coals. If he understood, that is. And by definition, comrades never understand.
