Paulo Vila Maior writes an opinion piece addressed to Miguel Tiago and Manuel Loff. The article's title compares the danger of repeating History to vinyl records, which have a side A and a side B, suggesting a two-sided analysis of a historical issue.
The author accuses Miguel Tiago and Manuel Loff of being victims of a "Stockholm syndrome turned upside down", a concept he uses to criticize some form of inverted identification or empathy with certain historical actors.
Vila Maior argues that those who distinguished themselves in political action with large-scale prohibitions were the communists, thus countering whatever position or argument the recipients may have presented.
The article emerges as a critique of a supposed revision or relativization of history, where the author seeks to remind that the communists were responsible for numerous political prohibitions, and questions his interlocutors' perspective on this historical issue.
