Jean-Francois Revel, R.I.P.
Yesterday's Good Times carried an opinion piece on the recent death of the French philosopher and author. His 1976 book The Totalitarian Temptation dealt with the attraction of Communism to the Lefties in Western Europe. In many respects, Revel was a sort of neocon in that he started out as a Lefty but moved well to the right over the course of his long and productive life. I am glad to see my copy survived the many moves made in the last twenty years.
