Which offence?

In France, which follows Roman and civil law, three categories of criminal offense are punishable. 1. A crime which calls for death or a prolonged imprisonment. 2. A delit which warrants a 1 - 5 years imprisonment or a fine. 3. A contravention which is a minor offense. Where does the criminal activity of I. F. Stone fit in? Identified as a fellow traveler by a Russian General, associated with terrorists like Kathy Boudin and Bill Ayers in the 1960's and a rabble rouser par excellence as a journalist - he has been idolized and given not only a pass but a medal struck in his honor. Uncle Joe Stalin would be proud. Uncle Joe shared Stone’s belief in the triumph of socialism over capitalist America. He said, "the victory of socialism in Russia is not complete because the danger of intervention from capitalist countries continues. The problem can be solved only be uniting the serous efforts of the international proletariat with the still more serious efforts of the entire Soviet people." The devil, of course, resides in all details. History records what "serious efforts" were endured by the Soviet people under Stalin. Stalin’s communism could not be criticized by Stone himself or his supporters because it would make it (communism) look bad back here in America and hamper efforts to render its successful. Stone’s ‘blind spot,’ unlike Senator Ted Kennedy’s undetected brain cancer, was never excised. Killer Joe also wrote that "he who does not work does not eat." ... "From each according to his ability, to each according to his own." (A repeat of Karl Marx’s words). Russian Communism put the ideals of Lord Hope, Saint Change and Holy Possibility (the words of Victor Davis Hansen referring to our present Democrat Presidential candidate and socialist, Barack Obama) to the ultimate lie. Test these words of deception from Stalin: "Socialism can succeed only on the basis of a high productivity of labour, higher than under capitalism, on the basis of an abundance of products and of articles of consumption of all kinds, on the basis of a prosperous and cultured life for all members of society." Of which punishable offense was I.F. guilty? Surely one of France’s #3. Did the U.S.S.R. or the U.S.A. actually realize Stalin’s ideal economic and cultural world?
